REPORTS  OF  COMMITTEES. 

PRINTED   FOR  THE  INFORMATION   OF  MEMBERS  OF   THE  MUSEUM. 


In  Executive  Committee,  April  18,  1882. 

On  reading  the  special  report  of  the  Committee  on  Objects  of  Art, 
ordered  that  the  same  be  accepted  and  approved,  and  that  copies  be 
printed  under  the  direction  of  the  Supply  Committee,  for  the  infor- 
mation of  members  of  the  museum. 

Ordered,  that  the  Supply  Committee  be  directed  to  re-print  the 
Report  of  the  Committee  of  which  President  F.  A.  P.  Barnard,  LL.  D.

Report  of  the  Committee  on  Objects  of  Art. 

New  York,  April  17,  1882. 

To  the  Executive  Committee  : 
The  Committee  on  Objects  of  Art  respectfully  report  : 
In  obedience  to  your  resolution  of  March  27th,  as  follows  : 
"  The  attention  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Trustees 
having  been  called  by  articles  in  the  daily  papers  to  a  pamphlet  in 
which  statements  are  made  that  (1)  statue  No.  32,  (Aphrodite  and 
Eros)  is  'a  fraudulent  patchwork  of  unrelated  parts';  (2)  that  statue 
No.  39,  (Figure  holding  a  horned  head)  'is  built  up  of  several  frag- 
ments belonging  originally  to  different  statues  of  various  sizes',  that, 
the  bust  is  a  fragment  of  one  statue,  and  the  lower  part  of  the  body, 
from  the  breast  down,  is  made  of  fragments  from  figures  of  various 
sizes  and  differently  poised,'  which  statements  are  so  visibly  untrue, 
that  no  contradiction  is  needed  to  any  person  who  cares  to  examine 
the  statues; 


2 


Ordered,  That  the  Committee  on  Objects  of  Art,  be  instructed 
to  remove  these  two  statues  from  their  glass  cases,  and  place  them 
on  the  floor  of  the  grand  hall  in  a  position  with  ample  light  where 
they  can  be  approached  and  examined  on  all  sides.  That  mem- 
bers of  the  museum,  the  public,  and  especially  editors  of  pub- 
lic journals,  sculptors,  workers  in  stone,  scholars,  and  all  persons 
interested  m  the  truthfulness  of  archaeological  objects,  be  invited  to 
make  the  most  careful  examination  of  the  statues." 

This  Committee,  on  the  28th  of  March,  removed  the  statues  32 
and  39  from  their  cases,  and  placed  them  on  special  exhibition  on 
the  floor,  near  the  centre  of  the  grand  hall,  in  strong  light,  where 
they  could  be  closely  inspected  by  all  visitors. 

The  following  placard  was  placed  conspicuously  near  the  statues, 
and  printed  copies  were  provided  for  all  visitors  who  wished  to  take 
them. 

"  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art, 
New  York,  March  28,  1882. 
"By  order. of  the  Executive  Committee. 
No.  32,  Aphrodite  and  Eros. 

"  It  having  been  publicly  stated  that  this  statue  is  a  fraudulent 
patchwork  of  unrelated  parts,  &c,  it  is  placed  here  for  public  examin- 
ation. The  statue  is  monolithic,  unbroken,  and  never  repaired, 
except  that  the  head  having  been  broken  off  was  replaced.  The  line 
of  fracture  through  the  neck,  curls,  and  head  dress  indicates  the  re- 
placement of  the  head. 

"  By  order  of  the  Executive  Committee. 
No.  39,  Figure  holding  a  horned  head. 

"  It  having  been  publicly  stated  that  this  statue  is  '  built  up  of 
several  fragments  belonging  originally  to  different  statues  of  various 
sizes,'  that  'the  bust  is  a  fragment  of  one  statue,  and  the  lower  part 
of  the  body,  from  the  breast  down,  is  made  of  fragments  from 
figures  of  various  sizes  and  differently  poised,'  it  is  placed  here  for 
public  examination.  The  statue  is  monolithic,  unbroken  and  unre- 
paired from  neck  to  ankles.  A  fracture  at  the  ankles  destroying  the 
rear  part  of  the  base,  and  the  heels,  so  that  the  statue  would  not 
stand  on  the  feet,  is  repaired  by  inserting  in  the  back  part  of  the 
base,  a  block  of  stone  accurately  cut  to  take  the  weight  of  the  statue. 
To  this  block  the  original  feet  are  adjusted,  and  brass  rods  ascend- 
ing through  the  block  into  the  legs,  hold  the  statue  firmly  in  its 
original  position:  This,  like  other  Cypriote  statues,  is  a  wall  statue, 
unfinished  in  the  rear." 

The  statues  have  thus  remained  until  the  close  of  the  winter 
exhibition  on  Saturday  evening  last  the  loth  inst,  and  have  been 
inspected  by  many  thousand  persons.

The  Committee  have  had  numerous  requests  from  scholars,  sculp- 
tors, workers  in  stone,  and  gentlemen  of  intelligence,  to  permit 
thorough  examination  of  the  statues  with  washings,  chiselings  and 
cutting,  with  caustic  potash  and  in  other  ways,  and  have  in  all  cases 
given  the  permission,  without  limit.  Such  examinations  have  been 
freely  made,  and  have  invariably  demonstrated  the  truthfulness  of 
the  statues,  and  the  falsity  of  the  published  accusations  referred  to. 

The  Committee  on  the  15th  inst.,  received  a  request  to  permit  an 
examination  by  a  number  of  distinguished  gentlemen  of  known 
ability,  who  had  arranged  to  meet  at  the  museum  with  the  publisher 
of  the  charges  against  the  statues,  and  make  an  investigation.  At 
their  request,  the  First  Vice  President,  in  the  absence  of  the  Presi- 
dent, gave  the  following  order. 

M.  M.  A.  April  15,  1882. 

To  the  Janitor  and  Watchmen  at  the  Museum. 

You  will  admit  Mr.  Launt  Thompson  and  his  friends  to  the 
Museum  at  any  hour  of  any  day,  whether  the  Museum  be  open  or 
closed,  and  permit  him  or  them  to  make  any  and  every  examination 
of  objects  which  they  may  desire.  W.  C.  Prime,  V.  P. 

The  Committee  are  informed  that  the  gentlemen  were  at  the 
Museum  at  the  hour  of  appointment  made  by  them,  and  that 
although  the  publisher  of  the  charges  failed  to  meet  them,  they 
made  a  long  and  complete  investigation,  and  were  satisfied  that  the 
statements  of  the  publication  referred  to  were  untrue.  The  Com- 
mittee have  not  asked  from  these  gentlemen  any  statement.  They 
have  received  a  large  number  of  communications,  verbal  and 
written,  expressing  gratification  at  the  opportunity  offered  to  ex- 
amine the  statues,  and  unanimously  testifying  to  the  falsehood 
of  the  publications  which  led  to  the  action  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee. In  no  instance  have  they  heard  of  any  contrary  opinion 
They  ask  approval  of  their  action,  thus  reported.  They  annex 
hereto  several  letters  from  well  known  sculptors,  which  have  been 
communicated  to  them,  with  permission  to  lay  them  before  the 
Trustees;  and  recommend  that  they  be  printed  for  the  information 
of  members  of  the  Museum.  They  also  recommend  that  the  Report 
of  the  Committee  of  Investigation,  of  which  the  President  of  Colum- 
bia College  was  chairman,  dated  January  26th,  1881,  be  reprinted 
for  the  use  of  members. 

They  also  recommend  that  statues  32  and  39.  be  continued  as 
now  on  special  exhibition  for  public  examination,  until  some  time

after  the  Reception  at  the  opening  of  the  summer  exhibition  on 
the  2d  day  of  May  next.

J.  Q.  A.  Ward,  Esq.,  519  West  21st,  Street, 

Dear  Sir:  New  York,  April  12,  1882. 

As  I  accepted  the  invitation  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Met- 
ropolitan Museum  of  Art  to  all  sculptors,  workers  in  stone  and 
lovers  of  truth,  to  examine  the  two  statues  at  the  Museum  marked  32 
and  39  respectively,  I  deem  it  my  duty  to  report  to  you  the  result, 
as  a  party  deeply  interested  and  the  only  member  of  the  previous 
examining  committee  personally  known  to  me. 

The  examination  took  place  on  Saturday  the  8th  inst,  openly  in 
the  presence  of  a  great  many  ladies  and  gentlemen  unknown  to  me. 

In  order  to  make  the  examination  thorough,  I  asked  for  and  ob- 
tained permission  to  bring  my  own  men,  and  also  received  authority 
"to  cut,  to  scrape,  to  wash,"  in  short  to  do  as  I  pleased  so  that  the 
truth  be  ascertained. 

We  first  examined  the  statue  No.  32,  called  Aphrodite  and  Eros; 
concerning  which,  Mr.  Clarence  Cook's  pamphlet  states  "it  is  a 
fraudulent  patchwork  of  unrelated  parts." 

Our  examination  convinced  us  that  the  above  statement  is  abso- 
lutely false  in  every  particular;  that  the  line  of  fracture  as  shown 
through  the  neck,  head-dress  &c,  is  the  genuine  and  only  fracture. 
The  head  and  trunk  are  of  the  same  stone  and  belong  to  each  other. 

A  gentleman  standing  by,  and  unknown  to  us,  stated  that  the 
publisher  of  Mr.  Clarence  Cook's  pamphlet  had  assured  him  a  few 
days  before,  while  examining  the  statue,  that  the  apparent  line  of 
fracture  across  the  neck  was  a  fraudulent  line  intended  to  deceive; 
that  no  fracture  existed  there;  but. that  the  real  fracture  was  below, 
concealed  in  some  ingenious  manner.  We  re-examined  the  figure 
under  his  directions,  and  found  these  statements  also  to  be  void  of 


5 


all  truth.  On  the  contrary  we  found  the  statue  to  be  monolithic  and 
unbroken  except  that  the  head  having  been  broken  off,  had  been  re- 
placed and  we  think  well  re-placed. 

Our  examination  of  No.  39,  "  Figure  holding  a  horned  head"  was 
not  less  thorough  than  on  No.  32,  and  we  are  satisfied  that  the  statue 
is  monolithic,  unbroken  and  unrepaired,  from  neck  to  ankles,  and 
that  all  statements  to  the  contrary  are  untrue.  We  believe  the  feet 
now  on  the  statue  to  be  the  original  feet  belonging  to  said  statue. 
The  repair  at  the  fracture  of  the  ankles,  which  has  been  made  by  in- 
serting a  single  block  of  stone,  cut  to  take  the  weight  of  the  statue, 
is  a  correct  and  admissable  one;  at  the  same  time  we  think  it  would 
have  been  more  satisfactory  had  the  feet  been  allowed  to  remain  in 
their  original  position  on  the  base,  and  a  smaller  block  inserted  in 
the  rear.  If  found  necessary  a  sub-base  could  have  been  added  to 
properly  balance  the  figure. 

Believing  that  your  desire  is  that  the  truth  in  this  matter  should  be 
fully  known,  and  hoping  that  you  will  not  deem  this  letter  an 
impertinence, 

I  remain,  Dear  Sir: 

Yours  very  truly, 
(Signed,)  Rob't  Ellin.

New  York  City,  April  12,  1882. 

My  Dear  Sir: 

I  have  been  to-day  to  the  Metropolitan  Museum  and  made  a 
careful  examination  of  the  two  statues,  about  which  there  has  been 
such  a  controversy,  No.  32  and  39. 

The  statement  that  No.  32  is  composed  of  several  parts  seems 
inexplicable.  It  is  obvious,  almost  at  a  glance,  that  from  the  neck 
down  it  is  unbroken,  and  that  the  head  which  surmounts  it  belongs 
to  it  and  was  cut  from  the  same  block  of  stone. 

Of  No.  39,  is  true  what  Gen.  Cesnola  claims  for  it  in  my  judg- 
ment— that  from  the  neck  to  the  ankles  it  is  whole,  and  cannot  be 
composed  of  parts  borrowed  from  different  statues.     The  fracture 


6 


at  the  ankles  is  very  apparent  as  any  break  in  a  statue  of  marble  or 
stone  must  be.  The  idea  that  either  of  these  statues  could  have 
been  made  of  fragments  from  different  figures  seems  to  me  almost 
absurd.  It  would  be  a  singular  accident  that  would  make  the 
sweeping  lines  of  the  folds  of  the  drapery  fit  and  run  into  each 
other  as  they  do  without  a  break  in  any  of  them  if  this  were  true. 

I  am  convinced  that  the  works  are  genuine  and  what  Gen.  Cesnola 
claims  for  them. 

Yours  very  truly, 

Dan'l  C.  French.

New  York,  April  11,  1882. 

My  Dear  Ward: 

I  went  up  to  the  Museum  this  morning  and  on  my  way  up  I 
called  at  Wm.  May's  shop  and  got  him  to  go  with  me.  He  is  an 
honest  fellow  and  a  good  marble  worker.  We  took  with  us  hammer, 
chisel  and  files.  We  got  there  about  8  o'clock  and  were  admitted 
and  allowed  to  wash,  cut  and  file  those  two  statues  (No.  32  and  39) 
to  our  hearts'  content. 

The  figure  holding  a  horned  head  is  absolutely  one  piece  of 
stone  from  the  neck  to  the  ankles.  There  can  be  no  possible  mis- 
take in  this. 

The  repair  about  the  feet  and  base  we  found  to  be  as  represented 
in  the  printed  statement  of  the  executive  committee. 

We  tried  on  the  head,  which,  it  has  been  stated,  was  at  some 
former  time  on  this  statue,  but  it  did  not  fit,  and  never  could  have 
belonged  to  this  figure  and  could  not  have  been  there. 

No.  32,  called  Aphrodite  and  Eros,  we  also  found  to  be  of  one  piece 
of  stone,  with  no  repair;  the  head  having  been  broken  off  is  repla- 
ced, but  not  as  well  replaced  as  it  might  have  been;  but  this  is  not 
fraudulent  work.  The  joint  would  have  been  perfect  if  a  little  more 
care  had  been  taken  in  putting  on  the  head:  but  this  has  nothing  to 
do  with  the  charges. 

We  fwund  nothing  in  these  two  statues  to  sustain  the  charge  of 
having  been  made  up  of  unrelated  parts. 

Very  truly  yours, 

Chas.  Calverley.

John  Taylor  Johnston,  Esq. 

President  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art. 

Dear  Sir: 

At  the  request  of  General  Di  Cesnola,  Director,  I  visited  the 
Museum  last  Thursday  and  carefully  examined,  using  sponge  and 
water,  chisel  and  magnifying  glass,  the  statues  No.  32  (Aphrodite 
and  Eros)  and  No.  39  (a  man  holding  the  head  of  a  horned  animal) 
both  belonging  to  the  Cypriote  collection  and  now  placed  on  special 
exhibition  for  the  inspection  of  editors,  sculptors,  workers  in  stone, 
&c,  &c. 

It  has  been  publicly  charged  that  the  statue  No.  32  "  is  a  fraudu- 
lent patchwork  of  unrelated  parts." 

This  statue  from  the  neck  down,  I  found  to  be  a  single  solid  stone 
without  seam,  joint  or  patchwork  of  any  kind  whatever. 

The  head  which  had  been  broken  off  has  been  replaced,  the  line 
of  fracture  being  such  that  indisputable  evidence  is  furnished  that 
it  is  in  its  original  place. 

It  is  publicly  charged  that  the  statue  No.  39  "is  made  up  of  un 
related  fragments  "  and  that  the  work  has  been  "  most  clumsily 
executed";  that  "  the  bust  is  a  fragment  of  one  statue,  and  the 
lower  part  of  the  body  from  the  breast  down  is  made  of  fragments  from 
various  figures  of  various  sizes  and  differently  poised;"  that  "  the 
statue  has  a  pair  of  new  feet,  new  legs  and  a  new  base." 

I  found  the  body  of  this  statue  from  the  neck  (it  has  no  head)  to 
the  ankles,  to  be  one  unbroken  piece  of  homogeneous  stone.  I  saw 
no  evidence  whatever  of  the  charge  of  its  being  composed  of  unre- 
lated fragments,  or  of  fragments  of  various  sizes  and  differently 
poised. 

The  right  leg  is  covered  with  the  toga  to  the  instep,  and  is  a  com- 
ponent part  of  the  body;  both  ankles  are  fractured  and  the  heels 
destroyed,  with  the  back  part  of  the  base.  The  front  half  of  the 
feet  remain  with  the  front  section  of  the  base.  This  fracture  has 
been  skillfully  repaired  by  inserting  a  piece  of  Cyprus  stone,  so  that 
the  statue  would  stand  and  admit  a  brass  rod  to  attach  the  base  to 
the  figure:  the  fronts  of  the  feet  are  adjusted  to  this  stone  with 
plaster  of  paris  in  a  justifiable  manner.

Since  writing  the  above  I  have  again  examined  the  statues  in 
company  with  other  sculptors,  and  have  confirmed  what  I  have 
above  said. 

I  am,  Dear  Sir, 
April  17,  1882.  Very  truly  yours, 

Launt  Thompson. 

P.  S.  The  head  which,  it  is  charged,  was  formerly  on  the  statue 
No.  39  never  could  have  been  on  it:  and  is  not  the  head  illustrated 
in  Mr.  Hitchcock's  article  in  Harper's  Magazine  of  July,  1872.

Dear  Sir: 

I  went  to  the  Museum  a  few  days  ago  and  made  a  care- 
ful examination  of  the  two  statues  No.  32  and  No.  39  and  am  entirely 
convinced  that  the  facts  as  stated  in  the  letter  of  my  friend  Mr. 
Launt  Thompson  to  you,  which  he  has  shown  me,  are  correct  in 
every  particular.  I  satisfied  myself  by  cutting  and  washing  and 
close  inspection. 

Yours  respectfully,

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  INVESTIGATION. 
Dated,  Jan.  26,  1881. 
(Reprinted  for  the  use  of  Members.) 
To  the  Trustees  of  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art. 

The  undersigned,  having  been  requested  to  investigate  certain 
charges  of  alterations  and  incorrect  repairs  of  objects  in  the  Cesnola 
Collection  of  Cypriote  antiquities,  contained  in  various  publications 
submitted  to  them,  report: 

The  charges  were  first  published  in  the  Art  Amateur  for  August,- 
1880,  over  the  signature  of  Mr.  Gaston  L.  Feuardent.  The  subsequent 
publications  in  newspapers  and  other  periodicals  were  discussions 
and  repetitions  of  the  same  charges,  and  so  far  as  they  were  accusa- 
tions proceeded  from  the  same  author.  The  original  publication  in 
the  Art  Amateur  was  elaborate  in  statement  and  argument,  and  was 
accompanied  by  engraved  illustrations  to  sustain  the  charges,  which, 
in  publications  of  archaeological  and  scientific  character,  are  generally 
relied  on  by  scholars  and  the  public,  as  made  with  accuracy  and 
conscientious  regard  to  their  importance.  The  charges  related  to 
seven  objects,  all  in  stone,  of  which  the  accusation  was  that  some  had 
been  falsely  and  fraudulently,  others  erroneously  repaired  and  in 
some  cases  restored.  An  eighth  charge  related  to  the  bronzes.  The 
charges  were  entitled  and  directed  specially  and  personally  against 
General  Di  Cesnola,  the  Director  of  the  Museum,  under  the  general 
head    Tampering  with  Antiquities." 

We  have  made  this  investigation  thorough  and  exhaustive.  We 
ascertained  on  examining  the  objects,  that  there  were  no  archaeo- 
logical or  difficult  questions  involved.  The  inquiry  was  into  matters 
of  fact,,  determined  by  ordinary  eyesight  and  evidence.  That  the 
Trustees  might  have  no  doubt  of  the  thoroughness  of  the  investiga- 
tion, we  have  invited  and  received  the  valuable  assistance  of  well- 
known  sculptors  and  practical  stone-cutters  and  carvers,  have  taken 
the  opinions  of  scholars,  have  made  microscopic,  chemical  and  other 
examinations  of  the  surfaces  and  have  subjected  some  of  the  repaired 
objects  to  prolonged  baths,  taken  them  to  pieces,  and  verified  the 
relation  of  the  fractured  surfaces.  We  have  had  before  us  original 
photographs  of  the  objects  taken  at  the  place  of  discovery,  and  at 
later  periods,  and  abundant  evidence  of  their  history  down  to  and 
during  the  process  of  repairing  and  arranging  for  exhibition  in  the 
present  Museum  Building. 


10 


We  have  examined  the  Director  and  Repairer  of  the  Museum,  and 
other  witnesses. 

We  invited  Mr.  G.  L.  Feuardent,  the  author  of  the  charges,  to 
attend  and  assist  us  with  such  information  as  he  could  give,  and 
although  at  first  declining  the  invitation,  he  subsequently  attended, 
and  the  Committee  heard  him  fully  as  to  each  of  the  charges.  Being 
requested  to  name  any  experts  on  whom  the  Committee  could  rely, 
and  whom  he  would  advise  them  to  call  to  their  aid  in  the  investiga- 
tion, he  informed  us  that  he  knew  of  no  one  that  he  could  suggest. 
He  advised  the  consulting  of  practical  stone-cutters  and  workers, 
which  the  Committee  have  done. 

We  report  as  the  result  of  our  inquiry  that  each  and  all  of  the 
charges  are  without  foundation;  that  there  have  been  no  restorations 
and  no  cutting  or  engraving  of  objects,  but  simply  repairs  by  the  re- 
placing and  reunion  of  such  original  fragments  as  existed  and  could 
be  identified;  and  that  the  engraved  illustrations  which  accompany 
the  charges,  inaccurate  in  general,  are  very  incorrect  in  some  of  the 
most  important  details. 

We  subjoin  a  statement  of  the  substance  of  each  charge  (as  con- 
densed by  us  and  corrected  and  approved  by  the  author  when  before 
us,)  with  our  finding  in  respect  to  each. 

1.    No.  22.    Statue  of  a  Priest. 

Charge:  That  the  right  arm  and  part  of  the  right  hand  were  pro- 
cured from  a  fragment  from  another  statue  while  the  collection  was 
in  my  (the  accuser's)  gallery  in  London;  but  now  the  points  of  junc- 
tion which  were  left  quite  apparent  then,  have  been  completely  hidden, 
so  that  the  statue  looks  as  if  it  had  been  found  perfect. 

We  find  the  right  hand  to  be  a  solid,  unbroken  part  of  the  statue 
against  the  side  of  which  it  is  supported.  This  statue  was  discovered 
in  three  fragments,  the  head,  the  body,  the  right  fore-arm  from  wrist 
to  elbow:  That  this  with  other  objects  in  Gen.  Di  Cesnola's  first 
collection,  was  sent  to  London,  and  there  remained  in  care  of  the 
author  of  this  charge  for  some  eight  or  nine  months,  to  be  exhibited, 
and  if  possible,  sold  to  the  British  or  some  other  museum,  Gen.  Di 
Cesnola  being  in  Cyprus.  That  while  it  was  in  his  custody,  the 
author  of  the  charge,  being  unable  to  find  the  original  fore-arm,  and 
not  knowing  of  its  existence,  had  a  false  fore-arm  procured  and  at- 
tached to  the  statue.  While  thus  falsely  repaired  it  was  photograph- 
ed, and  the  publication  of  a  process  print  from  the  photograph 
enables  us  to  identify  the  false  fore-arm  by  distinct  marks.  We 


11 


find  that  when  Gen.  Di  Cesnola  had  the  opportunity,  for  the  first 
time,  to  repair  the  objects,  he  removed  the  false  fore-arm  and 
properly  replaced  the  original  fore-arm,  found  with  the  statue,  and 
preserved.  The  contour,  and  fitting  of  lines  of  fracture,  leave  no 
doubt  in  our  minds  of  the  correctness  of  the  repair.  The  false 
fore-arm  made  in  London,  has  been  preserved  and  was  in  evidence 
before  us.  We  find  the  charge  unfounded,  and,  that  this  statue  is 
now  in  perfect  original  condition  as  to  its  form  and  material,  except 
as  to  effects  of  time  and  exposure. 

II.  No.  35.    Two  Sphinxes  back  to  back. 

Charge:  That  this  slab  was  found  with  all  the  upper  part  of  the 
left  Sphinx  wanting;  now  it  is  quite  complete,  and  the  pieces  joined 
to  it  seem  to  be  of  modern  work. 

We  find  no  reason  for  the  suspicion  suggested.  After  a  prolonged 
bath,  we  find  the  repair  of  the  left  Sphinx  to  be  a  re-union  of  the 
ancient  fragments,  which  we  find  correct.  A  difference  in  the  char- 
acter of  the  heads  of  the  two  Sphinxes,  might  have  suggested  inquiry 
as  to  whether  they  were  original  parts  of  the  same  object,  but  exam- 
ination of  various  monolithic  examples  of  the  same  subject  in  the 
collection,  shows  the  same  want  of  uniformity.  There  is  nothing  in 
the  character  of  the  stone,  condition  of  its  surface,  manner  of 
carving  or  treatment  of  the  head  to  throw  any  doubt  on  General  Di 
Cesnola's  statement,  that  when  found,  no  part  of  this  object  was 
missing,  the  fragments  of  the  left  head  being  found  close  to  the 
piece  from  which  they  had  been  broken. 

III.  No.  39.    Statuette  of  a  Man. 

Charge  :  That  this  object  has  been  so  entirely  re-worked  that 
few  lines  are  left  in  original  condition:  the  head-dress  completely 
altered  by  additions  and  deep  carvings;  hair  which  hung  down  on 
the  shoulders  cut  off;  a  modern  right  shoulder  angular  and  newly 
ornamented  added;  outlines  of  ornaments  on  the  belt  and  apron 
re-cut,  part  of  the  knees  cut  off. 

The  object  is  a  fragment,  found  in  several  fragments.  We  have 
placed  it  in  a  bath  for  some  days  and  taken  it  to  pieces. 
There  is  no  possible  doubt  of  the  correct  reunion  of  the  pieces,  A 
small  fragment  of  the  right  shoulder  with  original  surface  decoration, 
was  correctly  replaced,  the  existing  shoulder  being  otherwise  in  solid 
original  condition.  We  find  no  retouching,  re-engraving,  cutting  or 
alteration  of  any  part  of  the  surface  of  the  object,  and  no  foundation 
fot  any  part  of  the  accusation.

IV.  No.  40.    Statuette  of  a  Man. 

Charge  :  That  the  head  of  a  child  has  been  added  to  a  diminutive 
statue  of  a  man;  that  a  modern  neck  has  been  manufactured  to  join 
head  and  body;  the  neck  made  too  long  in  order  to  counteract  the 
effect  produced  by  the  head  being  too  large;  that  the  upper  chest  has 
been  cut  into,  leaving  a  modern  hard  line  of  the  neck  of  the  dress; 
that  a  left  fore-arm  has  been  joined  to  the  figure. 

We  find  the  charge  unfounded  in  every  particular.  The  engraved 
illustration  which  accompanies  it  in  the  Art  A??iateur,  August,  1880, 
entitled  "  Statue  No.  40  as  it  was  Found,"  is  incorrect  in  the 
only  important  detail.  This  represents  the  body  with  the  neck 
broken  short  off  down  to  the  chest,  thus  giving  color  to  the  charge  of 
a  modern  neck  to  receive  which  the  chest  has  been  cut  into;  whereas 
the  original  unbroken  part  of  the  neck  rises  three-fourths  of  an  inch 
above  the  chest  in  .front,  and  any  such  cutting  is  of  course  impossible. 
The  head  is  not  of  a  child  but  an  adult.  We  have  taken  the  statue 
to  pieces  in  the  presence  of  several  gentlemen,  sculptors,  and  stone 
cutters,  and  examined  the  repair.  The  head  with  its  part  of  the 
original  neck  rests  in  front  on  the  part  of  the  original  neck  which  is 
solid  with  the  statue.  Fragments  of  the  neck  at  the  side  and  back 
are  correctly  replaced.  The  head  fits  the  fracture  and  the  lines  of 
carved  drapery  match,  showing  conclusively  that  the  head  was  broken 
off  from  and  belongs  to  the  statue.  The  line  of  the  neck  of  the  dress 
has  not  been  retouched.  The  left  fore-arm  with  its  drapery  is  cor- 
rectly replaced.  Mr.  Feuardent  stated  to  us  that  the  illustration 
above  referred  to  was  not  made  from  the  statue  itself,  but  copied  from 
a  lithograph  in  Doell's  Russian  publication.  He  seems  to  have  been 
misled  by  relying  on  those  lithographs  instead  of  making  careful 
examination  of  the  objects. 

V.  No.  257.    Statuette  of  Venus. 

Charge:  That  a  mirror  which  appears  to  be  held  in  the  left  hand 
of  the  statuette  was  added  to  it  in  1879;  for  the  purpose  of  making 
it  represent  Venus  and  sustain  a  theory  that  her  worship  was  con- 
tinued at  Golgoi  in  Greek  times.  The  charge  is  accompanied  by 
two  illustrations  and  by  elaborate  statements;  the  writer  stating  that 
the  mirror  was  carved  in  the  stone  and  that  to  cover  the  modern 
work  a  coating  was  put  over,  which  was  still  damp  and  soft  when  he 
saw  it,  into  which  while  still  soft  he  twice  pressed  his  nail  while  hand- 
ling it  in  1879. 

We  find  the  charge  unfounded.  We  find  no  ground  on  which  to 
-base  any  question  as  to  the  antiquity  of  the  mirror  and  the  sur- 


13 


rounding  surface.  The  unanimous  testimony  of  experts,  sculptors 
and  practical  cutters  and  workers  in  stone  of  various  kinds,  who  ex- 
amined the  object  together,  and  also  with  three  members  of  the 
committee,  other  expert  testimony,  and  our  own  careful  examination 
of  it  with  the  eye  and  with  the  microscope,  leave  no  doubt  that  the 
mirror  and  the  surrounding  parts  were  cut  at  the  same  time  and  by 
the  same  hand  that  wrought  the  entire  statuette,  that  of  the  ancient 
sculptor.  The  evidence  before  us  shows  that  this  object  when 
found  was  like  a  large  portion  of  the  stone  objects,  covered  more 
or  less  with  a  dense,  stone-like,  incrustation  of  earth  and  lime,  which 
in  some  cases  it  has  been  found  impossible  to  remove.  We  find 
examples  of  this  in  many  objects  in  the  collection.  On  the  left  side 
of  this  statuette,  this  accumulation  yielded  to  a  prolonged  bath,  and 
on  its  removal,  the  mirror,  a  small  relief  five-eighths  of  an  inch  in 
transverse  diameter,  was  revealed.  The  engraved  illustration, 
accompanying  this  charge,  exaggerates  the  size  and  relief  height  of 
the  mirror,  The  alleged  motive  for  an  alteration  does  not  exist,  the 
collection  having  ample  illustration  of  the  Greek  worchip  of  Aphro- 
dite at  Golgoi. 

VI.    No.  754.    Statuette  of  a  Youth. 

Charge :  This  has  been  too  much  retouched  and  a  wrong  head 
placed  on  it.  When  found  it  was  in  a  poor  state  of  preservation  and 
the  head  was  wanting. 

We  find  the  charge  without  foundation.  As  this  object  was  found 
unbroken  and  photographed  in  that  condition  at  the  place  of  excava- 
tion, accidentally  broken  in  transporting  it  to  the  residence  of  the 
discoverer  and  immediately  repaired,  shipped  in  box  direct  to  New 
York,  and  not  unpacked  till  placed  in  its  present  position  on  the 
shelf,  it  was  evident  the  writer  knew  nothing  of  its  condition  when 
found,  and  had  mistaken  it  for  a  repair  of  some  other  object.  In  a 
later  publication  (after  an  intimation  from  the  committee  of  this 
obvious  error)  he  stated  that  from  a  drawing  made  by  him  he 
thought  the  number  should  be  469  and  adds,  "  this  is  described  in 
Doell  (Sammlung  Cesnola)  page  35,  No.  156,  and  illustrated  Plate 
V.,  No.  2."  This  correction  revealed  the  source  of  his  error.  He 
has  since  informed  us  in  person  that  he  intended  to  designate  some 
object  in  the  collection  as  a  repair  or  restoration  of  the  object  in 
Doell's  book.  Neither  754  nor  469  has  any  resemblance  whatever 
to  that  object.    This  is  unimportant,  however,  as  we  find  the  object 


14 


described  and  illustrated  in  Doell  V.  2,  to  be  a  headless  statuette,  in 
the  museum  store  room  of  fragments,  never  repaired.  It  appears 
therefore  that  the  accusation  has  originated  in  mistaking  some  object 
in  the  collection  for  a  repair  or  restoration  of  another  object  which 
has  never  been  repaired. 

VI  I.    No.  768.    Statuette  of  a  man  sitting. 

Charge :  That  the  head  of  an  old  man  has  been  fixed  on  the 
shoulders  of  the  figure  which  the  writer  states  belongs  to  a 
class  which  represents  youths,  and  it  is  important  to  know  whether 
this  head  has  been  put  on,  as  if  it  really  belongs  to  the  figure  it  up- 
sets all  the  former  classifications  made  of  such  objects. 

This  suggestion  of  a  suspicion,  rather  than  a  distinct  charge,  is 
important  only  because  forming  one  of  a  series  of  accusations  under 
the  head  Tampering  with  Antiquities,  and  because  accompanied  (in 
the  Art  Amateur \  August,  1880),  by  an  engraving  which  represents 
a  dark  line  across  the  neck,  giving  apparent  force  to  the  suggestion 
that  the  head  has  been  "  fixed  on."  The  object  is  a  monolith,  and 
no  such  line  exists  across  the  neck.  The  collection  contains  a  large 
number  of  unbroken  statuettes  of  this  class,  representing  old  men 
and  youths.  The  author  of  the  charge  after  examining  the  object 
in  our  presence,  was  satisfied  that  the  object  is  in  original  unbroken 
condition,  and  disavowed  any  intent  at  misrepresentation  in  the 
illustration. 

VIII.    The  Bronzes. 

Charge:  That  many  of  them  have  been  covered  with  a  false 
patina  after  they  were  cleaned. 

We  find  that  the  Trustees  have  given  their  personal  and  very 
careful  attention  to  the  important  subject  of  preserving  ancient 
bronzes  from  oxidation  and  rapid  destruction:  that  in  so  doing  they 
invited  experiments  which  were  made  by  various  persons  (including 
the  author  of  the  charge);  that  the  effects  of  the  treatment  by  these 
experiments  have  been  carefully  watched  for  some  years,  and  the 
process  of  oxidation  found  to  be  hastend  by  some  of  the  processes, 
and  apparently  arrested  by  one  only.  This  last  treatment  has  been 
adopted,  and  it  is  hoped  will  prove  as  successful  as  that  used  by  the 
British  Museum,  which  is  secret.  We  find  that  some  of  the  bronzes 
have  been  cleaned,  and  subjected  to  this  process,  and  that  no  false 
patina,  coloring  matter,  or  other  treatment  has  been  given  to  these 
or  any  other  in  the  collection. 


15 


Mr.  Feuardent  presented  to  us  an  affidavit  of  Mr.  Geo.  C.  Cox,  a 
photographer  formerly  employed  at  the  museum,  containing  charges 
affecting  other  objects  in  the  collection.  Mr.  Cox  appeared  before 
the  committee,  and  made  charges  in  general  terms  of  restorations 
and  false  repairs  of  objects,  but  on  examination  could  fix  upon  only 
two  objects,  viz.:  the  Sarcophagus,  No.  C.C.,  and  the  Statue,  No. 
NXXIX.  These  the  committee  examined,  and  find  the  charges  in 
relation  to  them  to  be  without  the  slightest  foundation. 

It  has  been  necessary  for  us  in  this  enquiry  to  examine  to  some 
extent  the  system  of  General  Di  Cesnola  in  making  repairs.  We 
are  of  the  opinion  that  if  he  has  erred  at  all  it  has  been  in  too  rigidly 
refraining  from  making  repairs  whose  correctness  was  reasonably 
certain.  We  find  in  the  store-rooms  of  the  museum  a  mass  of  frag- 
ments which  probably  belong  to  objects  exhibited  in  imperfect  con- 
dition. The  fact  appears  before  us  that  every  fragment  of  a  statue 
found  at  Golgoi  was  carefully  preserved,  and  that  there  now  remains  i 
in  Cyprus  a  large  collection  of  such  fragments  which  if  brought  to 
New  York  would  possibly  supply  the  original  bodies  of  all  the  num- 
erous heads  now  exhibited,  coming  from  that  spot. 

The  Trustees,  and  the  City  and  Country,  have  great  reason  for 
pride  in  the  possession  of  the  Cesnola  collection,  and  this  committee 
have  sincere  satisfaction  in  saying  that  they  have  found  nothing  in 
their  investigation  to  cast  a  shadow  on  its  reputation.

EXPLANATORY. 


§  i.  In  the  population  of  ancient  Cyprus  two  nationalities  are 
mentioned  in  the  scant  and  broken  records  remaining  to  us — 
Phoenicians  and  Greeks.  These  two  gave  to  Cyprus  its  character 
in  antiquity.  The  two  chief  Phoenician  cities  in  the  days  of  Peri- 
cles and  Alexander  were  Amathus  and  Citium  on  the  southern 
coast ;  but  how  far  the  Phoenician  population  extended  at  differ- 
ent periods  is  unknown. 

§  2.  We  are  equally  ignorant  of  the  date  of  the  coming  of  the 
Phoenicians,  but  it  is  not  unlikely  that  they  came  to  Cyprus  not 
long  after  their  arrival  on  the  Syrian  coast,  perhaps  about  2000  b.  c. 

§  3.  Nor  do  we  know  when  the  Greeks  first  entered  the  island. 
There  is  more  than  one  reason  for  believing  that  it  was  one  of 
their  earliest  fields  of  emigration,  perhaps  a  consequence  of  the 
Dorian  Invasion  which  caused  such  great  commotion  in  Greece 
and  wide  emigration  from  its  cantons.  Assyrian  records  show  that 
the  Greeks  were  well  established  in  Cyprus  by  700  b.c.  We  will 
therefore  assume  that  they  arrived  between  1000  and  800  b.  c. 

§  4.  The  new  settlers  soon  gained  a  firm  foothold  from  one  end 
of  the  island  to  the  other,  north  of  the  central  range  of  mountains. 
Their  language,  in  the  course  of  time,  dislodged  the  Semitic 
speech,  and  the  language  of  Cyprus  remained  Greek  to  the  present 
day.  By  the  time  of  Alexander,  the  Greek  tongue  had  conquered 
the  larger  part  of  the  population.  When  Phoenician  finally  died 
out  is  unknown ;  perhaps  about  the  beginning  of  our  era. 

§  5.  Cyprus  was  not  united  under  one  government,  but  was 
broken  up  into  little  states,  each  composed  of  a  city  and  its  lands, 
as  in  the  two  mother  countries,  Phoenicia  and  Greece.  Though 
the  Cypriote  states  were  not  united  under  one  national  govern- 
ment, they  shared  in  their  outer  relations  the  fortunes  of  their  Syrian

neighbors.  The  two  great  empires  in  that  part  of  the  world  before 
the  rise  of  the  Persians,  were  Assyria  to  the  east  and  Egypt  to  the 
south,  and  Syria  with  its  island  Cyprus  lay  between  the  two  powers 
as  a  fighting-ground  and  prize.  Egypt  from  the  XVIIIth  to  the 
XXIst  Dynasty  (roughly  1 600-1000  b.  c.)  was  the  controlling 
power  in  these  intermediate  countries.  Under  the  XXIst  Dynasty 
(about  1000  B.C.)  the  Egyptian  armies,  called  home  by  civil  war, 
gave  place  to  the  Assyrians,  who  crossed  the  Euphrates  westward. 
The  Euphratic  powers — Assyria  and  Babylonia —dominated  Syria 
for  about  five  centuries,  till  both  lord  and  vassal  were  absorbed  by 
the  Persian  empire^  not  long  after  550  b.  c.  Two  hundred  years 
later,  Cyprus  with  Syria  fell  into  the  hands  of  Alexander,  and 
about  300  B.  c.  the  island  was  annexed  by  Ptolemy,  Alexander's 
successor  in  Egypt.  It  continued  to  be  a  possession  of  the  Greek 
princely  family  reigning  in  Egypt  for  two  centuries  and  a  half  till 
Egypt  itself  became  a  province  of  Rome.

brilliant  part  in  Asiatic  and  European  civilization.  The  Egyptians, 
it  is  believed,  were  in  part  Semitic  in  origin ;  the  Assyrians  were 
a  race  of  surprising  vigor ;  Phoenicians  gave  Europe  its  alphabet ; 
from  the  Hebrews  it  received  its  religion.  The  first  settlers  of 
Cyprus  known  to  us  were  Semitic.  The  Phoenicians  were  full  01 
activity  in  manufactures,  and  in  commerce  they  were  the  rulers  of 
the  sea.  By  the  time  that  the  Greeks  entered  the  island,  Sidon 
and  Tyre  had  dotted  the  Mediterranean,  even  to  its  western  gates 
at  Gibraltar  two  thousand  miles  away,  with  colonies  and  trading- 
posts.  The  sea  was  covered  with  Phoenician  ships  bringing  the 
raw  produce  of  the  nations  of  the  West  to  the  factories  of  Phoe- 
nicia.

§  8.  Phoenicia,  like  Greece  and  unlike  Egypt  and  Assyria,  was 
divided  into  cantons,  and  not  subject  to  one  absolute  sovereign. 
This  free  play  of  individual  expansion,  and  the  absence  of  a  cen- 
tral government  keeping  within  its  own  hands  all  lines  of  activity 
in  all  parts  of  the  country,  allowed  the  vigorous  commercial  and 
industrial  side  of  Phoenician  life  to  give  tone  to  its  civilization. 

§  9.  In  Egypt,  Assyria  and  Greece  life  was  political,  and  art 
was  monumental,  for  it  was  created  by  a  whole  nation's  wealth, 
taken  in  Egypt  and  Assyria  by  an  absolute  sovereign,  given  in 
Greece  by  iDublic-spirited  citizens. 

In  Phoenicia  a  brilliant,  all-absorbing  autocracy  was  absent, 
while  a  commerce  and  industry  of  surprising  activity  spread  pros- 
perity wide  through  the  various  cities  and  classes.  It  was  a  reign 
of  comfort ;  art  was  domestic,  and  took  form  in  objects  of  small 
size,  precious  material  and  delicate  workmanship  —  all  kinds  of 
furniture  and  personal  ornament  in  gold,  silver,  bronze,  and  ivory, 
precious  woods  inlaid,  dyed  and  embroidered  stuffs,  carved  gems 
and  the  like.  Industrial  and  trading  Phoenicia  overflowed  with 
works  of  art ;  but  they  were  of  small  size,  of  perishable  or  precious 
material,  and  have  decayed,  been  lost  or  carried  off. 

§  10.  (a)  Hence,  few  remains  appear  on  the  surface  in  Phoe- 
nicia, and  extensive  excavations  have  not  been  made  underground. 
The  material  unearthed  in  Cyprus  and  elsewhere  is  mixed  with 
foreign  elements  ;  Phoenician  archaeology  therefore  possesses  no 
large  body  of  data.  We  can  only  form  provisional  theories  on 
the  Phoenician  cast  of  features,  their  sculpture  and  pottery ;  we 
know  nothing  of  the  periods  of  Phoenician  art.  (b)  The  following 
view  of  Phoenician  art  is  here  adopted.  (1)  They  possessed  a 
national  style  in  which  they  embodied  their  own  full  and  active  life  ; 
(2)  since  the  Phoenicians  were  Semitic,  the  designs  of  this  na- 
tional art  are  related  at  more  than  one  point  to  the  designs  of 
their  Semitic  cousins  the  Assyrians;  (3)  they  were  strongly  in- 
terested by  Egyptian  designs  and  frequently  reproduced  them 
(see  c  in  this  §) ;  (4)  in  the  sculpture  of  Golgi  the  Phoenicians  re- 
produced nature  truthfully  in  the  forms  of  the  head  and  face,  but 
not  of  the  body  and  drapery ;  and  in  the  treatment  of  the  surface 
they  paid  no  attention  to  differences  of  texture,  (c)  The  Phoeni- 
cians were  near  neighbors  of  the  Egyptians,  met  them  frequently 
in  commercial  affairs,  and  during  the  five  centuries  preceding 
1000  B.C.  (date  of  Solomon)  came  into  frequent  political  contact

with  Egypt.  Moreover,  the  drift  of  their  busy  commercial  life  was 
to  put  them  into  an  attitude  of  good-natured  curiosity  toward 
foreign  nations,  instead  of  coolness  or  arrogance.  Commercial 
nations  are  apt  to  furnish  the  travellers  of  the  world.  Thus  the 
majesty  of  Egyptian  architecture,  the  bewildering  multiplicity, 
variety  and  strangeness  of  the  figures  of  its  sculpture  and  painting, 
produced  a  deep  effect  upon  the  lively  and  enquiring  commercial- 
travellers  from  Phoenicia.  Egypt  was  to  the  art  of  Phoenicia  what 
Greece  was  to  the  art  of  ancient  Rome,  and  has  been  since  the 
15th  century  to  the  art  of  Christendom — a  source  of  inspiration 
and  a  storehouse  of  forms.  More  than  a  thousand  years  after 
Hiram  of  Tyre  the  ally  of  Solomon,  when  Greek  art  and  speech 
had  established  themselves  in  Sidon  and  Tyre,  the  asps  and 
winged  globes  of  Egypt  could  be  used  on  the  fac,ades  of  Greek 
temples  of  Phoenicia  under  the  Roman  empire. 

§  11.  GREEKS. — Assuming  that  the  Greek  settlers  of  Cyprus 
arrived  at  the  early  date  of  1000-800  B.C.,  their  civilization  was 
as  different  from  that  we  call  Greek,  as  an  Italian  picture  of  the 
time  of  Dante  is  different  from  one  of  the  time  of  Raphael.  They 
had  not  yet  learned  their  alphabet  from  the  Phoenicians,  they  had 
no  Doric  and  Ionic  temples,  no  pottery  like  that  of  Case  XXXI 
(Central  Hall),  no  statues  like  38,  nor  even  as  advanced  as  the 
primitive  24  with  its  stiff  limbs  and  vulgar  features.  They  were  in 
a  primitive  stage  of  civilization,  while  their  new  neighbors  were 
much  further  advanced.  The  Greeks  at  home,  through  intercourse 
with  Phoenician  traders  who  landed  on  their  coast  and  settled  on 
their  islands  at  an  early  day,  had  perhaps  taken  into  their  religion, 
their  fairy-tales,  and  their  arts  of  design  many  Oriental  elements, 
and  Greek  productions  of  that  day  bore  a  distinct  Oriental  stamp. 
When  the  Greeks  entered  Cyprus  this  foreign  influence  was 
strengthened  by  daily  contact  with  a  large,  established,  and  civil- 
ized population.  A  second  current  of  Phoenician  influence  was 
now  sent  home  by  the  Greeks  of  Cyprus,  to  join  in  overflowing 
Greece  another  current  from  Asia  Minor  sent  by  Greeks  who,  like 
those  in  Cyprus,  had  settled  in  foreign  parts  under  the  light  of  an 
advanced  civilization.  When  these  two  currents  had  done  their 
work  of  fructification,  the  foreign  elements  were  fused  and  the  mix- 
ture transmuted  into  an  independent  national  and  Greek  art.

§  12.  The  Cesnola  Collection  of  Cypriote  Antiquities  is  the 
result  of  excavations  made  (1866-76)  by  General  Louis  Palma  di 
Cesnola,  United  States  Consul  at  Cyprus.  The  sculptures  of  the 
Temple  of  Golgi  were  discovered  by  him  in  1870. 

§  13.  (a)  SOURCE. — A  happy  circumstance  was  the  discovery 
of  a  mass  of  sculptures  in  one  spot,  forming  much  the  larger  por- 
tion of  this  collection.  A  complete  survey  of  the  sculpture  of  the 
whole  island  was  impossible.  As  it  is,  we  have  by  this  concentra- 
tion a  tract  of  Cypriote  sculpture  lifted  out  and  isolated,  a  series, 
continuous  from  the  beginning  to  the  end  of  the  art  in  one  Cypriote 
town.  This  unity  and  continuity  simplifies  problems,  (h)  GOLGI. 
— The  place  of  discovery  at  Hagios  Photios,  not  far  from  Citium,  is 
often  called  Golgi,  having  been  identified  with  that  favorite  haunt  of 
Aphrodite  by  the  French  archaeologist,  M.  de  Vogue,  in  1862,  a 
very  uncertain  identification,  but  retained  in  this  hand-book  for 
convenience'  sake.  It  was  a  small  interior  town  where  people 
lived  in  a  plain  way.  This  lack  of  wealth  left  its  art  backward 
and  provincial.  Its  population,  at  first  Phoenician,  soon  became 
Greek,  perhaps  about  600  b.  c,  while  Citium,  its  near  neighbor,  for 
centuries  remained  Phoenician. 

§  14.  STONE. — The  material  is  a  limestone  common  through- 
out the  island.  Marble  is  not  found  in  Cyprus.  Similar  white, 
cheap  local  stone  was  in  Greece  the  universal  material  for  statues 
before  it  became  the  fashion  to  use  the  more  pleasing  and  durable 
marble  and  bronze.  But  marble  was  found  only  in  certain  parts  of 
the  Greek  world,  and  where  citizens  led  plain  lives  they  were 
content  to  do  without  the  costly  imported  stone. 

§  15.  TEMPLE  OF  GOLGI.— Although  the  population  became 
Greek  in  speech  at  an  early  period,  yet  the  temple  retained,  it 
should  seem,  its  old  Semitic  character  in  architecture.  The  ground 
was  carefully  explored,  but  no  trace  found  of  Greek  orders  of 
architecture.  It  was  sixty  by  thirty  feet  long  and  wide,  the  stones 
of  the  foundation-wall  were  set  in  clay  for  mortar,  the  walls  were 
probably  of  sun-dried  brick  and  capped  by  a  wooden  roof.  A  door 
was  in  one  end  and  a  door  in  one  side,  both  near  a  corner,  neither 
in  the  middle — again  a  trace  of  Semitic  origin. 

§  16.  Thirty-two  statues  and  a  mass  of  fragments  were  found 
about  two  hundred  yards  from  the  temple.  These,  it  is  probable, 
were  taken  out  of  the  temple  and  deposited  there,  because — (a) 
In  spite  of  the  most  careful  search  on  two  occasions,  no  founda- 


8 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


tions  of  a  building  could  be  found  near  the  statues.  (&)  Vogiie', 
in  digging  at  this  spot,  noticed  in  one  pit  only  heads,  in  another 
pit,  arms,  legs,  and  trunks,  and  attributed  the  dismemberment  and 
burial  to  the  triumph  of  Christian  iconoclasts  over  paganism. 

Among  the  statues  from  the  neighborhood  of  the  temple  were 
Nos.  7,  14,  15,  17,  19,  23,  183. 

§  17.  PURPOSE. — These  sculptures  came  from  houses  dedi- 
cated to  spirits — temples  and  graves — offerings  to  the  immortal 
gods,  and  to  mortal  men  become  like  the  gods,  immortal. 
'  §  18.  NATIONALITY  is  the  line  of  classification— Phoenician 
and  Greek.  The  earlier  group  is  Phoenician,  the  later  Greek. 
They  differ  in  physiognomy,  costume,  and  artistic  conception. 
The  last  is  confined  to  the  conception  of  the  portrait. 

§  19.  CONCEPTION  OF  THE  PORTRAIT. — In  both  periods, 
Phoenician  and  Greek,  the  votive  offering  most  often  took  form  in 
the  portrait  of  the  offerer,  (a)  Phoenician  Period. — The  Phoenician 
sculptor  desired  not  the  creation  of  beauty,  but  the  production  of 
a  likeness.  He  was  interested,  however,  only  in  the  face ;  it  did 
not  disturb  him  that  the  body  looked  like  wood,  e.  g.  No.  4,  the 
hair  and  beard  like  cloth,  Nos.  175,  183.  He  indicated  these 
rapidly  and  hastened  to  the  features  of  the  face,  and  here,  in  that 
which  excited  his  interest,  he  achieved  decided  success.*  (b) 
Perfect-Greek  Period. — To  the  Greek  the  beauty  of  life  was  above 
everything  else.  Hence  he  could  not  neglect  everything  for  the 
face,  but  body  and  drapery  were  carved  with  pleasure  as  great. 
For  the  same  reason  his  statues  of  individuals  usually  were  not 
portraits,  but  imaginative  embodiments  of  character.  So  in  Golgi, 
when  Hellenism  became  fully  established,  the  statues  of  offerers 
no  longer  looked  like  them,  but  were  handsome  Greeks,  and  when 
the  island  became  a  possession  of  Rome  the  citizens  of  this 
inland  town  were  in  their  statues  turned  into  handsome  Romans. 
(c)  Young- Greek  Period. — Before  Greek  art  reached  its  full 
growth  in  Golgi,  statues  of  the  Greek  period  continued  as  in 
the  Phoenician  period  to  be  portraits.    Thus  in  Nos.   24  and 


*  So  unimportant  did  the  body  seem,  that  hasty  as  the  treatment  of  the 
front  is,  the  back  is  treated  with  still  greater  neglect.  The  gashes  of  the 
tool  have  often  been  left  ;  it  frequently  happens  that  there  is  no  back,  but 
only  half  a  body  split  off  in  front  of  the  spine.  None  of  the  statues  were 
intended  to  be  viewed  from  all  sides,  but  were  placed  against  the  wall.

22  the  greater  life  in  hair,  limbs  and  drapery  proves  a  departure 
from  Phoenician  tradition,  while  the  faces  remain  likenesses. 

§  20.  PHYSIOGNOMY. — (a)  In  the  statues  of  the  Phoenician 
period  it  is  Semitic,  but  a  nearer  definition  of  race  is  difficult  by 
reason  of  uncertain  purity  of  blood.  An  earlier  race  may  have 
been  absorbed  by  the  Phoenician,  and  seeing  that  Golgi  became 
Greek  at  an  early  period,  many  of  the  statues  of  the  Phoenician 
period,  though  Phoenician  in  point  of  art,  may  be  of  individuals  of 
mixed  Phoenician  and  Greek  blood.  Finally,  for  lack  of  material, 
the  pure  Phoenician  type  has  not  been  fixed  in  Phoenicia  itself,  nor 
in  Citium  and  Amathus  in  Cyprus,  (b)  The  "  Cypriote  type  "  of 
features — that  prevailing  in  the  statues  of  the  Phoenician  period  in 
Golgi — is  seen  in  Nos.  183,  173.  The  face  may  be  divided  into 
two  stages  by  a  line  through  the  cheek-bones  and  end  of  the 
nose.  The  face  advances  from  the  top  of  the  forehead  rapidly 
toward  this  line,  and  below  this  line  is  cut  in  on  the  sides  and  in 
front — that  is,  the  line  along  the  forehead  and  nose  slopes  back- 
ward, the  eyes  fill  their  cavities  to  the  full,  the  nose  is  prominent 
at  the  bottom  rather  than  along  the  ridge,  the  cheek-bones  bulge ; 
the  cheeks  are  drawn  in,  a  small  peaked  mouth  with  thin  lips,  a 
pointed  and  projecting  chin.  There  is  much  individual  variation 
in  the  following  faces,  but  the  type  is  more  or  less  preserved  in 
all— Nos.  175,  177,  178,  9,  16,  4,  2,  1 155,  1 156,  1 158.  (c)  The 
Young-Greek  faces  of  Golgi,  like  those  of  statues  and  vase-paint- 
ings in  Greece,  resemble  the  Cypriote  type,  wearing  a  similar 
smiling  inquisitive  air,  and  are  unlike  the  faces  of  Greek  individ- 
uals as  seen  in  the  classic  period,  on  coins,  for  example. 

§  21.  AETISTIC  VALUE. — (A.)  Phoenician  Period.— judged 
by  its  own  aims  it  is  worthy  of  strong  praise,  for  it  has  reproduced 
life  vividly.  The  artists  were  original  and  studied  nature  directly. 
See  faces  Nos.  4,  1155,  1156,  1160,  175,  177,  183.  Terra-cottas 
from  other  parts  of  the  island  show  that  Phoenician  sculptors 
could  make  lifelike  portraits  elsewhere  as  well  as  in  Golgi.* 

(B)  Greek  Petiod.  —(ft)  With  the  growth  of  Hellenism  new 
standards  in  art  were  set  up  but  not  reached  in  Golgi.  (b)  In 
Greece  votive  offerings  were  often  free  creations  of  the  imagina- 
tion, inspired  by  scenes  from  their  epic  poetry.  But  in  Golgi  the 
prosaic  character  of  the  Phoenician  period  continued  into  the  new 


*  See  "Handbook  2,  Potteries,  etc.,"  p.  37,  last  two  lines,  and  p.  38,  top.

Greek  forms  of  pleasing  exterior.  In  this  temple  nothing  is  im- 
aginative ;  all  are  sober  statues  of  individuals.  For  the  difference 
in  the  portrait  in  the  two  periods,  see  §  19.  {(')  The  Greek  love 
of  the  beauty  of  life  showed  itself  in  the  frequent  choice  of  the 
naked  body,  in  its  vivid  realization,  and  in  the  beauty  infused  into 
drapery,  for  Greek  drapery  is  transparent  to  the  life  of  the  limbs. 
But  in  Golgi  the  naked  body  excited  as  little  interest  in  the  Greek 
period  as  in  the  Phoenician,  for  of  all  the  statues  whose  size  makes 
them  important,  only  one  from  this  temple  is  naked — No.  661. 
(d)  Provincial. — In  fine,  the  sculpture  of  Golgi  during  the  Greek 
period  lacks  originality.  The  use  of  the  cheap  stone  of  the  place 
throughout  the  existence  of  the  town,  long  after  marble  and 
bronze  were  demanded  for  works  of  higher  value,  shows  that  the 
town  had  not  wealth  enough  to  attract  artists  of  distinction  who 
might  train  up  a  new  race  of  sculptors  with  strength  for  the  new 
aims.    Golgi  and  its  art  remained  provincial. 

§  22.  PHCEMCIAN  PERIOD.— These  statues  are  mostly 
dressed  in  what  was  probably  the  costume  of  the  Phoenicians  of 
Golgi  (§  25).  The  methods  of  sculpture  are  not  unlike  those 
of  Egypt,  and  in  view  of  the  well-known  influence  of  Egypt  on 
Phoenician  art  they  may  be  considered  a  Phoenician  importation 
from  Egypt.  So  strong  was  the  Egyptian  influence  that  certain 
individuals  have  been  portrayed  in  Egyptian  dress,  a  fashion  which 
existed  in  Phoenicia,  and  other  parts  of  Cyprus. 

§  23.  EGYPTIAN  INFLUENCE. — (A)  The  existence  of 
statues  in  Egyptian  dress  is  commonly  explained  by  immediate 
contact  with  Egyptians  as  conquerors  in  the  island.  But  the  strong 
interest  which  Phoenicia  took  in  Egypt  (§  10  c)  suffices  to  explain 
this  imitation.  Moreover,  conquered  subjects  would  hardly  be 
allowed  to  erect  statues  of  themselves  adorned  with  the  royal 
crown  and  the  royal  asps  (§  34,  c). 

(B)  The  Egyptian  influence  comes  to  the  surface  in  all  classes 
of  the  Phoenician  period,  in  national  or  foreign  costume,  in  {a) 
The  suppression  of  detail  and  a  summary  treatment,  producing 
the  effect  of  a  rough  draught  (§  29).  (b)  Advance  of  the  left  leg 
in  the  standing  statue  (§  37).  (c)  Egyptian  dress  imitated  in  a 
few  statues. 

§  24.  EGYPTIAN  DRESS. — There  are  thirteen  unmistakable 
instances,— 1,  2,  3,  4,  6,  7,  9,  14,  60,  124,  147,  204,  213. 

The  pieces  of  dress,  e.  g.  No.  2,  are  headcloth,  broad  breast- 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


I  I 


collar,  the  kilt  about  the  hips  and  the  asps  on  the  front-piece  of 
the  kilt.  No.  7  wears  the  Egyptian  royal  double  crown.  These  are 
described  in  §§  30-34.    They  are  all  seemingly  statues  of  men. 

Whether  the  Egyptian  dress  was  worn  by  the  originals,  or 
used  only  in  the  statues ;  whether  it  was  a  mark  of  office  (for 
example,  in  the  temple),  or  was  adopted  at  will,  is  unknown. 

§  25.  PHCENICIAN  DRESS. — (A)  Two  prevailing  kinds,  (a) 
e.  gn  Nos.  16,  11,  13.  Conical  cap,  often  a  long  beard,  long  gown, 
light  shawl  in  which  usually  the  right  arm  is  wrapped  as  it  lies  on 
the  breast.  The  beardless  figures  are  probably  men.  (b)  E. 
Nos.  8,  255.  No  cap,  but  bandeau  about  the  hair;  no  long  beard; 
no  long  gown,  but  tight  jacket  and  small  tight  drawers  (§  43). 

(B)  There  are  many  cases  of  crossing  in  the  various  pieces  of 
dress  of  these  two  Phoenician  costumes  and  the  Egyptian  (§  48). 

§  26.  ASSYRIAN  INFLUENCE. — The  conical  cap,  the  most 
noticeable  piece  in  the  Phoenician  costume,  resembling  as  it  does 
the  Assyrian  helmet ;  also,  the  mode  of  representing  the  beard  in 
a  few  cases— 16,  23,  180,  325,  329,  331,  332,  334,  339— have  given 
this  class  (§  25,  A,  d)  tlie  reputation  of  being  imitations  of  the 
Assyrian.  But  the  conical  cap  is  probably  not  a  helmet  (§  39,  C, 
a),  and  secondly  these  statues  called  "Assyrian"  are  bare  of  that 
deeply-cut  stamp  of  Assyrian  sculpture — supremacy  of  detail  (§29, 
A,  a).     In  fine,  the  Assyrian  influence  is  slight. 

§  27.  DATES  OF  THE  PHCENICIAN  PERIOD,  (a)— The 
"  Assyrian  "  influence,  like  the  Egyptian,  is  commonly  attributed 
to  immediate  contact  with  conquerors  in  the  island.  Seeing  that 
Egypt  had  control  in  Syria  from  1600  to  1000  b.  c.  (ad.)  and  was 
replaced  from  1000  to  530  (ab.)  by  Assyro-Babylonia,  the  Egyptian 
statues  are  commonly  assigned  to  the  five  centuries  preceding  1000 
b.  c,  and  the  "Assyrian  "  statues  to  the  five  centuries  following."' 
(b)  The  view  adopted  in  this  hand-book  is  that  first  the  "Assy- 
rian" statues  are  in  Phoenician  dress,  secondly  that  they  are  con- 
temporary with  those  in  Egyptian  dress,  thirdly  that  both  costumes 
are  executed  in  methods  perhaps  borrowed  from  Egypt,  (c)  This 
leaves  in  uncertainty  the  upper  limit  of  the  Phoenician  period. 
The  lower  limit  depends  on  the  beginning  of  the  Greek  period  in 
Golgi.    (d)  Although  the  language  of  Golgi  became  Greek  at  an 

*  Egypt,  according  to  Herodotus,  during  the  6th  cent.  B.  c.  held  Cyprus 
for  a  while.  To  these  few  years  the  statues  in  Egyptian  dress  have  also 
been  assigned,  but  are  much  more  often  placed  before  1000  B.  c.

early  date,  probably  about  600  b.  c,  the  Phoenician  character  of 
the  art  lasted  much  later,  there  are  certain  reasons  for  believing 
(§  49).  The  close  of  the  Phoenician  period  in  the  sculpture  of 
Golgi  is  to  be  placed  hardly  earlier  than  500  b.  c. 

§  28.  In  the  group  §  25,  A,  a,  three  stages  exist  which  are 
successive  in  point  of  progress,  (a)  Certain  ones  with  faces  like  1 1, 
94,  99,  114,  133,  211,  a  circular  profile,  large  long  eyes  rimmed 
with  thin  sharp  ridges,  flat  nose  and  stony  look,  (b)  183,  etc., 
physiognomy  described  §  20,  b.  The  whole  rendering  of  the  face 
is  much  fresher,  (c)  Nos.  162,  201,  etc.,  softer  than  (b)  in  cheek, 
eye,  and  mouth. 

§  29.  INFLUENCE  OF  EGYPT  ON  METHODS  OF  SCULP- 
TURE IN  GOLGI.— A  likeness  to  the  Egyptian  conception  of  the 
reproduction  of  nature  and  an  absence  of  Assyrian  models  display 
themselves  at  every  step  in  the  temple  of  Golgi.  The  Assyrian 
sculptor  in  reproducing  nature  saw  first  of  all  the  markings  of  the 
surface,  and  the  general  effect  was  pushed  aside  by  obtrusiveness 
of  detail.  In  Egyptian  drawings  detail  is  not  merely  placed  in  the 
second  rank,  it  is  effaced  in  the  presenfation  of  general  effect. 
This  does  not  apply  to  the  sculpture  of  the  Old  Empire  of  Egypt 
(Dyn.  I  to  X),  for  its  artists  attained  in  the  attitudes  of  the  limbs 
of  portrait-statues  and  in  the  modelling  of  flesh  to  brilliant  realism. 
It  applies  in  some  measure  to  the  later  sculpture.  In  the  Phoeni- 
cian statues  of  Golgi  detail  is  suppressed  with  still  greater  firmness 
than  in  the  sculpture  of  the  New  Empire  (Dyn.  XVIII,  etc.),  as 
completely  as  in  the  colored  drawings  on  Egyptian  walls.  Where 
the  artist's  interest  was  called  out  (in  the  head)  he  rendered  form 
and  neglected  texture.  Form  as  well  as  texture  in  the  body  was 
a  matter  of  indifference.  This  summary  execution  shows  itself  in 
the  following  features  :  (ft)  Body. — As  to  the  framework,  it  often 
seems  (e.  g.  No.  4)  as  if  a  mere  support  for  the  head  were  desired. 
The  muscular  clothing  of  the  framework  cannot  for  a  moment  be 
compared  to  the  muscular  detail  of  Assyrian  reliefs,  where  it  is  ac- 
cented with  repelling  sharpness.  (Nos.  7,  19.)  (b)  Beard. — Again 
suppression  of  detail.  The  beard  often  looks  like  so  much  stuffed 
cloth,  e.g.  Nos.  175,  177;  or  a  few  lines  divide  it  into  four  columns 
which  may  or  may  not  end  in  a  curl,  as  Nos.  183,  179.  No.  174 
shows  a  number  of  such  bands.  No.  181  is  faintly  worked  over  in 
columns  of  zigzags  giving  it  the  scaly  look  of  a  fish.  It  is  an  ex- 
ception to  find  the  beard  a  mass  of  curls  as  in  Assyrian  reliefs. 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES.

The  only  examples  in  E.  H.  are  Nos.  7,  16.  Several  examples 
of  Phoenician  heads  in  N.  A.,  Case  C,  with  beard  completely- 
worked  out  in  flat  curls  may  belong  to  the  period  of  transition 
from  Phoenician  to  Greek.  (§  68,  a.)  In  no  case  is  the  beard 
square  at  the  end  or  curled  in  stages,  both  being  marks  of  dignita- 
ries on  Assyrian  reliefs,  (c)  Moustache. — This  at  first  sight  seems 
to  be  shaved  quite  off,  but  an  examination  of  the  manner  of  indi- 
cating it  makes  it  probable  that  its  absence  is  due  to  the  superfi- 
cial treatment  of  surface  prevailing  in  the  Phoenician  period  of 
Golgi.  Where  present,  it  is  an  extremely  thin  strip,  which  corro- 
sion in  many  cases  has  rendered  almost  invisible ;  in  other  cases 
this  thin  strip  was  never  carved.  Examples  are  173,  178,  183,  174, 
332.  In  the  Phoenician  period  it  is  confined  to  the  lip,  but  in  the 
heads  of  the  Young-Greek  period  from  the  temple  of  Golgi  it  has 
hanging  ends.  Even  here,  where  everything,  both  hair  and  cloth- 
ing, is  treated  with  far  greater  detail  than  in  the  Phoenician  period, 
the  part  of  the  moustache  on  the  lip  is  very  thin  and  flat,  as  507, 
510,  512,  etc.  Much  more,  then,  will  it  subside  in  the  Phoenician 
statues,  perhaps  disappearing  in  some  cases  though  present 
in  the  original,  (d)  Hair.  —  Again  a  noticeable  departure 
from  the  Assyrian  method.  In  most  of  the  Phoenician  statues  the 
head  is  covered  by  the  klaft  or  by  the  conical  cap,  but  where 
the  hair  is  seen  on  the  neck  it  is  entirely  smooth  with  hardly 
an  exception,  No.  16.  With  the  conical  cap  the  fringe  of 
hair  over  the  forehead  is  sometimes  a  row  of  flat  curls,  as  183, 
sometimes  a  plain  strip  as  175  ;  or  else  quite  absent,  as  174.  In 
the  Phoenician  costume  §  25,  A,  b,  the  hair  on  the  scalp  is  always 
smooth,  as  327,  very  different  from  the  Young-Greek  heads  (N.  A., 
D),  as  No.  506.  (e)  Manes  of  Lions. — See  §  47.  (/)  Clothing. — 
Again  unlike  Assyrian,  like  Egyptian.  In  No.  11,  a  life-sized 
statue,  no  detail  whatever,  neither  in  gown  nor  shawl ;  No.  16  has 
a  few  folds;  in  No.  10,  in  which  folds  most  abound,  they  are  still 
faint  and  sketchy,  lines  on  a  uniform  surface.  Also,  throughout 
the  Phoenician  period  the  shawl  is  produced  simply  by  outlines 
sunk  into  the  woody-like  surface  of  the  gown,  and  not  by  differ- 
ence of  elevation,  which  is  well  marked  in  the  Greek  period,  even 
on  the  very  early  statue  21.    See  §  39,  B. 

§  30-  (a)  Klaft,  Egyptian  head-cloth,  a  kind  of  wig,  e.  g,  Nos. 
1 152,  1 154,  1 156.  Egyptian  men  shaved  hair  and  beard  and  wore 
false  hair.    Compare  the  statuettes  from  Egypt  (C.  H.,  XXXIV)

CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


No.  118,  (XXXII)  No.  13.  All  the  Egyptian  statues  of  Golgi  do 
not  wear  the  klaft.  Some  have  hair  whether  natural  or  false, 
e.  g.  Nos.  3  and  9.  No.  7  wears  the  royal  crown  of  Egypt,  No.  14 
some  kind  of  cap.  (b)  Women  in  Egypt  did  not  shave  their  heads 
and  wear  the  klaft.  But  there  are  numerous  examples  from  the  tem- 
ple of  Golgi  of  women  wearing  the  klaft,  e.g.  105,  146  (§  45,  A,  b). 

§  31.  (a)  Shenti  (Egyptian). — It  is  a  kilt  wrapped  round  the 
hips ;  one  end  tucked  underneath  the  belt  and  hanging  down 
makes  a  front-piece.  The  shenti  was  worn  by  rich  and  poor  in 
Egypt.  The  rich  wore  over  it  a  long  gown  of  light  stuff  and  full 
of  folds.  This  drapery,  however,  was  omitted  in  Egyptian  statues, 
probably  because  it  introduced  new  difficulties  into  sculpture.  In 
these  Phoenician  copies  the  long  robe  is  also  omitted,  (b)  This 
cloth,  wrapped  about  the  hips  and  fastened  by  a  belt,  was  not  pe- 
culiar to  Egypt,  but  was  the  common  working-dress  of  Assyria  and 
Syria.  Its  presence,  unaccompanied  by  other  pieces  of  Egyptian 
dress,  does  not  fix  an  Egyptian  costume.    (§  48.) 

§  32.  Jacket  (Egyptian). — Very  close,  with  short  sleeves  ending 
at  the  shoulders.    The  shenti  is  fastened  to  it  by  a  belt. 

§  33.  Collar  (Egyptian). — The  large  breast-collar  of  many  of 
the  statues  in  Egyptian  dress  was  common  in  Egypt  for  the  rich. 

§34.  (a)  Front-piece  of  Shenti  —Asps  (Egyptian). — In  Egyptian 
statues  of  Golgi,  it  is  frequently  ornamented  with  asps,  (b)  The 
Asp  of  Egypt  was  the  emblem  of  more  than  one  god,  and  signified 
power.  Hence  its  image  was  worn  by  the  king,  but  forbidden  to 
subjects.  In  the  case  of  these  Cypriote  statues  its  meaning  is 
unknown.  It  may  be  mere  ornament  and  no  mark  of  rank,  or  its 
wearers  may  have  been  Cypriote  princes. 

§  35.  Eyebrows  (Phoenician). — Usually  a  defined  elevation  on 
the  brow.  In  the  statues  of  the  Phoenician  period  in  East  En- 
trance Hall  and  heads  in  North  Aisle,  Cases  A-C,  the  proportion 
is  between  four  and  five  with  this  elevation  to  one  with  plain 
brow;  e.  g.,  without  the  elevation  are  1154,  1157,  174,  179,  34*> 
336.  No.  1 157,  with  plain  brow,  imitates  the  hair  by  zigzaggings. 
The  elevation  is  usually  a  flat  strip  with  sharp,  high  edges.  It  is 
generally  plain,  but  in  some  cases  is  marked  like  plaiting,  e.  g., 
Nos.  4,  19,  14,  1 155  ;  the  same  marking  is  seen  on  Vase  898  (S. 
Aisle  14,  4) ;  sometimes  the  strip  is  marked  with  feathering,  Nos. 
173,  332,  or  is  zigzagged  as  178.  In  Egyptian  sculpture  also  the 
eyebrow  is  represented  by  a  defined  elevation,  which  on  the  other 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


hand  is  frequently  absent  (see  Egyptian  heads  in  C.  H.,  XXXIV^ 
Nos.  5,  118;  XXXII,  7,  13);  the  same  strip  represents  it  in 
Assyrian  sculpture.  In  Perfect-Greek  heads  the  brow  is  left 
smooth. 

§  36.  Close-Shaven  Beard.  (A) — Many  beardless  heads  like 
that  with  the  klaft,  No.  1156,  wear  on  the  jaws  and  chin  what  looks 
like  a  band  of  cloth.  It  is  probably  a  close-shaven  beard,  (a) 
In  two  cases  only  does  it  seem  to  be  a  strap  to  the  cap  as  14,  232.. 
In  all  other  cases  it  has  no  lower  edge,  (b)  The  long  beards  cut 
with  a  sharp  edge  along  the  upper  attachment  to  the  jaws,  withi 
the  rarity  of  indication  of  hair,  present  a  similar  air  of  cloth  applied. 

(c)  In  several  cases  the  surface  is  worked  with  a  tool  as  if  to 
imitate  short  hair,  e.  g.,  3,  15,  1155,  1162,  87.  (d)  There  are  three 
certain  instances  of  close-shaven  beard  full  of  little  curls,  Nos.  7$ 
332,  5°8- 

(B)  It  is  common  in  the  statues  with  Egyptian  costume.  Of 
the  eight  Egyptian  statues  in  E.  H.  only  one  is  without  it,  No.  9  ; 
and  another  has  a  close-shaven  beard  in  curls,  No.  7. 

(C)  Most  of  the  small  heads  with  conical  caps  have  no  beards, 
but  Nos.  185,  186  wear  these  probable  close-shaven  beards. 

(D)  In  the  class  of  statues,  §  25,  A,  b,  this  probable  short 
beard  is  rare,  the  only  cases  being  232,  333,  335,  318. 

§  37.  Left  Leg  Advanced. — In  Egypt,  statues  standing  in  repose 
advance  the  left  leg,  e.  g.,  C.  H.  XXXIV,  5.  So  also  the  Phoeni- 
cian statues  of  Golgi.  When  the  legs  are  bare,  as  in  the  Egyptian 
costume  and  the  native  costume  (§  25,  A,  £),  the  left  foot  is  always 
planted  in  front  of  the  right  (e.  g.,  4,  12,)  ;  whereas  in  statues 
clad  in  the  long  gown  the  legs  are  side  by  side,  probably  because 
of  the  introduction  of  a  new  difficulty  in  managing  drapery  and 
movement  of  the  legs  together,  e.  g,  Nos.  10,  11. 

§  38.  Movement  of  Arms,  (a) — (Phoenician).  In  the  Egyptian 
costume  and  the  native  costume,  §  25,  A,  a,  with  shawl  and  gown, 
the  arm  (usually  the  right)  is  folded  on  the  breast.  In  the  native 
costume,  §  25,  A,  &,  both  arms  usually  hang  by  the  side,  (b)  In 
Egyptian  sculpture  the  hand,  of  the  hanging  arm  is  kept  rigidly 
open,  e.  g.  Nos.  5,  114,  C.  H.  XXXIV.  In  the  Phoenician  statues 
of  Golgi  the  hand  is  kept  tightly  closed,  and  not  half  open  as  in 
Greek  statues.  Only  once  are  the  hands  opened  as  in  Egyptian 
sculpture,  255.  (c)  The  movement  of  the  arms  shares  in  the 
neglect  with  which  the  body  was  treated  by  the  Phoenician  sculp- 


i6 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


tors  of  Golgi.  The  arms  are  timidly  kept  close  to  the  body, 
whereas  even  in  the  Young-Greek  statues  the  arms  hang  free,  e.g. 

NOS.  21,  22,  24. 

§  39.  Conical  Cap. — (A)  It  is  of  several  shapes,  (a)  The  most 
common,  that  oftenest  found  on  the  large  heads,  has  a  knob  at 
top  and  two  side  pieces  or  flaps  reaching  nearly  to  the  knob,  e.  g. 
183.  The  knob  bends  backward  and  often  ends  in  a  strap  which 
hangs  down  behind.  This  strap  remains  in  few  cases,  for  either 
the  heads  are  broken  or  corroded  or  were  not  carved  behind. 
It  is  unmistakable  on  the  terra-cotta  heads  (E.  H.,  21,  1),  151, 
152,  153,  on  two  heads  of  the  little  stone  figures  206,  and  the 
upper  part  of  the  strap  is  preserved  on  179,  182.  (b)  In  some 
cases  there  are  no  side  pieces,  but  instead  bars  run  up  to  the  knob, 
e.  g.  15,  16.  (c)  Sometimes,  especially  in  the  larger  statuettes, 
the  cap  is  quite  smooth  and  bare  of  side  pieces  or  bars,  as  Nos. 
160,  196,  etc.  (d)  Variations  from  the  above  are  14,  257.  (e) 
The  conical  caps  of  180,  329  are  different  from  all  the  others. 

(B)  The  material  in  certain  cases  is  knitted  yarn,  in  others 
may  be  this,  as  well  as  cloth,  felt  or  leather,  for  the  Phoenician 
sculptors  of  Golgi  rendered  form  and  neglected  surface,  (a)  A 
few  are  evidently  knitted,  e.g.  15,  16,  325,  334.*  (b)  Where  the 
cap  looks  like  metal,  as  183,  etc.  compare  the  beard  and  the  in- 
tentional omission  of  rendering  its  texture. 

(C)  The  meaning  of  this  cap  is  not  fixed,  (a)  It  is  often  com- 
pared to  the  Assyrian  helmet  and  considered  part  of  the  imitation 
of  the  Assyrian  (§  26).  But  it  is  probably  not  a  military  hat,  on 
account  first  of  the  absence  of  accompanying  arms,  secondly  of 
the  material  of  the  cap  (see  B  in  this  §).  (b)  It  may  be  a  common 
hat,  in  which  case  there  would  be  similarity  to  the  Semitic  foreign- 
ners  on  Assyrian  reliefs.  They,  but  not  the  Assyrians,  cover  their 
heads,  (r)  It  may  be  a  privileged  hat  like  a  mitre,  worn,  for  ex- 
ample, by  the  class  of  priests,  as  on  Assyrian  reliefs  mitres  or 
crowns  are  worn  by  gods  and  the  king  (not  by  priests,  however). 
It  would  then  be  of  significance  that  at  this  day  Greek  priests  in 
the  interior  of  the  island  wear  a  conical  knitted  cap  topped  by  a 
knob,  (d)  The  conical  cap  went  out  of  fashion  in  the  statues 
of  the  Greek  period. 

(D)  The  large  heads  wearing  the  conical  cap  usually  wear  a 
long  beard  also.    The  smaller  and  small  statues  and  heads  in  the 

*  Nos.  325,  334  having  side-pieces  are  of  the  shape  A,  a,  in  this  §. 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


17 


wall-cases  N.  A.  usually  have  no  beard.  Sometimes  they  wear 
the  close-shaven  beard  of  §  36. 

§  40.  Gown  (in  Costume,  §  25,  A,  a). — It  seems  to  be  not  a 
real  gown,  but,  like  the  Greek  chiton,  a  sheet  worn  like  a  gown. 
No  girdle  gathers  it  at  the  waist. 

§  41.  Shawl.— {%  25,  A,  a.)  As  is  usually  the  case  with  the 
Greek  himation  it  is  not  hung  on  the  shoulders,  but  wrapped  round 
them.  The  outer  half  crosses  the  breast  from  the  right  side,  the 
end  being  thrown  over  the  left  shoulder,  but  leaving  the  left  arm 
free,  e.g.,  No.  10.  The  tip  is  often  folded  back  again,  falling 
down  the  shoulder  in  front.  There  is  no  instance  of  the  direction 
of  wrapping  being  reversed.  When  the  right  arm  is  folded  on  the 
breast  the  shawl  covers  the  shoulder,  making  a  sling  for  the  arm, 
e.  10.  When  the  right  arm  hangs,  the  shawl  passes  under  that 
shoulder,  leaving  the  arm  free ;  so  also  when  the  right  arm  is  put 
to  use,  as  in  playing  the  flute,  1199.  Only  once  is  the  right  arm 
folded  on  the  breast  without  being  wrapped  in  the  shawl,  62.  Only 
once,  159,  is  it  not  used  as  a  wrap,  but  hung  on  the  shoulders 
with  both  ends  in  front.  It  seldom  occurs  without  the  gown. 
Twice  with  a  kilt,  1185,  62.  Twice  on  figures  which  seem  to  be 
naked  below  the  waist,  Nos.  5,  159. 

§  42.  Coat. — A  coat  is  sometimes  worn  in  the  Phoenician  class 
without  a  belt  reaching  to  the  waist  in  front,  on  the  sides  descend- 
ing below  the  hips,  (a)  Nos.  1 182,  1 198,  117,  figures  probably 
connected  with  the  temple-services,  are  dressed  alike  in  coat  and 
gown,  and  perhaps  a  third  garment.  No.  133  combines  this  dress 
with  that  of  §  25,  A,  a.  No.  382  is  probably  the  dress  of  §  31,  b, 
in  the  early  Greek  period,  conveying  by  its  greater  detail  in  carv- 
ing and  coloring  a  clearer  notion  of  the  dress,  (b)  Nos.  119,  142. 
— -No.  142  has  on  the  hips  a  garment  like  the  shenti  with  front- 
piece. 

§  43.  BANDEAU— DRAWERS  CLASS  (§  25,  A,  b).— Nos.  8, 
12,  104,  109,  113,  145,  158,  222,  225,  231,  232,  253,  255,  257,  314. 
A  large  number  of  heads  belonged  probably  to  such  statues, — Nos. 
83,  92,  in,  112,  115,  116,  128,  163,  226,  234,  239,  240,  252,  259, 

327>  333>  335>  33$,  34*,  343>  345-  TheY  stand  with  the  left  leg 
advanced,  like  all  the  Phoenician  statues  of  Golgi  where  the  legs 
are  unimpeded  by  a  gown  (§  37)  ;  both  arms  usually  hang  by  the 
sides  :  hair  long  and  bag-shaped  •  the  bandeau  encircling  the  hair 
and  the  drawers  are  frequently  adorned  with  rosettes.    No.  232

alone  renders  the  texture  of  the  hair.  It  differs  from  all  the  others, 
also,  in  having  a  garland  of  flowers  instead  of  the  bandeau,  and 
finally,  the  features  are  handsomer.  Ear-spirals  are  often  worn, 
e.  g,  No.  8  (§  44,  B).    Many  wear  the  short  beard  as  333  (§  36). 

§  44.  JEWELRY. — (A.)  Arm-spirals  are  worn  on  the  upper 
arm,  and  are  worn  by  men  as  shown  in  No.  13.  There  are  no  cer- 
tain instances  of  their  use  by  women,  (ft)  Egyptian  dress.  Nos. 
2>  3)  6,  9,  14  with;  1,  4,  7  without,  (b)  Very  rarely  in  class  §  25, 
A,  a,  perhaps  because  the  sleeves  cover  usually  the  upper  arm. 
No.  13  probably  the  only  example,   (c)  Common  in  Class  §  25,  A,  b. 

(B)  Ear-spirals. — The  originals  of  the  earrings  worn  by  Nos. 
1 167,  343  seem  to  be  the  gold  spirals  in  the  Treasure  of  Curium 
(South  Gallery,  Cases  44,  46).  Terra-cotta  head,  178  (E.  H.  21, 
ib),  gives  the  ornament  clearly  cut.  Their  use  has  bearing  on  the 
question  of  the  sex  of  the  various  groups  of  statues  in  the  Phoeni- 
cian period.  On  the  Assyrian  reliefs  men  wear  earrings,  though 
not  of  this  shape.  That  these  ear-spirals  were  worn  by  women  is 
shown  by  Terra-cotta  head,  178.  They  occur  in  no  instance  in 
conjunction  with  the  long  beard,  and  are  found  most  often  with  no 
beard.  On  the  other  hand,  they  sometimes  accompany  what  in 
§  36  was  pronounced  beard  cut  close — namely,  in  five  out  of  nine- 
teen cases.  They  are  worn  by  No.  1155,  in  which  the  feature  in 
question  resembles  beard  through  the  treatment  of  its  surface. 
To  sum  up,  it  occurs  in  the  ears  of  statues  in  the  Egyptian  cos- 
tume, in  costume  §  25,  A,  a,  without  the  long  beard,  and  §  25,  A,  b, 
and  was  probably  worn  by  men  as  well  as  women  (§  44,  c). 

(C)  WOMEN'S  JEWELRY. — (a)  Ear-ornaments.— Ho  cases 
of  ear-spirals  like  B  worn  by  statues  which  are  certainly  women. 
These  wear  two  kinds  of  ear-ornament  closely  related.  No.  504 
seems  to  wear  a  complicated  ear-spiral  with  a  cap  covering  the 
whole  ear,  perhaps  the  sphinx-ornament  topping  the  spiral  found 
in  the  Curium  Treasure  (North  Gallery,  Case  44).  Nos.  1153,  63, 
64,  71,  105,  98  and  Terra-cottas  73,  114  (E.  H.,  21,  4  and  2)  seem 
to  be  a  variation  of  504.  (•>)  Throat-chains. — Nos.  1153,  63,  504, 
wear  flexible  bands  close  round  the  neck.  These  are  frequent 
in  the  terra-cottas,  and  a  gold  original  is  in  the  Curium  Treasure. 
(N.  Gallery,  46.)  (**)  Breast-chains. — One  or  two  round  the  neck 
are  frequent,  as  105. 

(D)  Finger-rings, — No  statues  of  the  Phoenician  period  in  this 
collection  wear  finger-rings.    Nor  are  they  found  in  Assyrian  reliefs.

§  45.  Hair. — In  all  the  statues  of  the  Phoenician  period,  both 
in  native  and  in  foreign  costume,  the  hair  is  worn  long. 

(A)  It  reaches  to  the  edge  of  the  back,  ((f)  In  the  two  Phoeni- 
cian costumes  of  §  25,  A,  it  is  bag-shaped.  (/>)  The  Egyptian 
klaft  is  worn  by  many  statues  of  all  sizes  both  men  and  women 
with  no  other  piece  of  Egyptian  costume,  (§  30,  I?.)  It  is  not 
unlikely  that  this  is  the  rendering  of  bare  heads  with  long  hair  and 
that  the  resemblance  to  the  klaft  is  due  to  the  habit  of  rendering 
form  and  passing  by  texture  in  silence.  Two  statues  in  Egyptian 
costume  are  without  the  klaft  and  have  the  texture  of  the  hair 
rendered,  Nos.  3,  9.  The  large  heads  1160,  1161,  seem  to  wear 
the  klaft,  yet  the  hair  is  partially  indicated. 

(B)  In  another  fashion  the  hair  is  allowed  to  descend  below 
the  neck  down  the  shoulders  behind  and  in  front.  Here  again 
texture  may  or  may  not  be  rendered.  Divided  into  tresses  are 
1179,  1180,  1185,  1192,  1195,  68,  85,  101,  157,  159,  420;  Nos.  1194, 
62,  90,  are  left  smooth.  Most  of  these  figures  are  probably  men. 
Nos.  1 195,157  are  women.  Egyptian  women  wore  their  hair  in  this 
fashion,  but  with  a  larger  number  of  tresses  on  each  side  of  the  face. 
In  these  statues  of  Golgi  they  are  usually  three.  This  fashion  of 
wearing  the  hair,  a  mass  falling  down  the  shoulders  behind  and 
three  tresses  on  each  side  in  front,  was  practised  among  men  in 
Phoenicia,  occurs  in  Young-Greek  male  statues,  with  which  in  gen- 
eral long  hair  is  frequent,  and  it  is  found  on  Etruscan  figures. 

§  46.  Paint. — The  current  of  custom  in  modern  times  is  strong 
against  painting  stone  statues.  But  in  antiquity  Assyrians,  Phxni- 
cians  of  Golgi,  and  Greeks  colored  their  statues.  Nature,  how- 
ever, was  not  imitated ;  certain  parts  darker  than  the  rest  were 
shaded  with  red  and  the  darker  tone  of  hair,  pupil  of  the  eye,  lips, 
and  borders  of  garments  were  thus  reproduced.  Hence  it  was  not 
really  painting.  In  the  Phoenician  period  of  Golgi  the  shawl  is 
often  colored  red  while  the  gown  is  left  plain. 

Many  statues  show  no  trace  of  red,  but  more  than  once  damp- 
ness has  brought  out  red  which  vanished  when  dry. 

§  47.  Lions'  Manes. — Remembering  the  different  attitude  of  the 
Phoenician  and  Greek  sculptors  of  Golgi  toward  the  rendering  of 
surface,  we  should  expect  the  manes  of  lions  in  the  Phoenician 
'period  to  be  smooth  and  in  the  Greek  period  rough  with  locks. 
The  lions  on  the  Young-Greek  sarcophagus  C  (E.  H.)  and  the 
lion  of  the  Phoenician  group  156  answer  this  expectation,  also  191.

§48.  Crossing  of  Costumes.  —  Egyptian  and  §  25,  A,  a.  There 
are  many  like  10  combining  klaft  with  gown  and  shawl  (but  §  45, 
A,  b).  Nos.  15,  162  wear  the  conical  cap  and  shenti  (but  §  31., 
b).  So  also  18,  conical  cap  with  a  kilt  unlike  the  shenti.  This 
seems  to  show  that,  inasmuch  as  the  hair  was  already  worn  long 
and  thick  and  a  national  costume  already  existed  of  tight  jacket 
and  kilt,  only  a  few  markings  were  needed  with  the  addition  of 
the  large  breast-collar  to  turn  the  portrait  into  an  Egyptian.  Per- 
haps No.  124  is  this  national  dress.  Nos.  158,  257  of  the  Ban- 
deau-Drawers class,  §.  43,  wear  the  conical  cap. 

§  49.  TRANSITION  FROM  PH(ENICIAN  TO  GREEK.  (A) 
— When  one  nationality  is  merged  in  another  by  mixture  of  blood, 
the  following  overlapping  stages  of  the  transformation  are  re- 
flected in  the  portrait  statues,  (a)  The  change  appears  first 
in  the  physical  features ;  (b)  then  spreads  into  the  language ; 
{c)  and  finally  attacks  the  dress  and  the  mode  of  rendering  forms. 

(ft)  Change  in  Features  of  the  Face. — The  middle  of  the  profile 
is  the  middle  of  the  nose  lying  on  the  line  of  cheek-bone  and 
ear.  In  the  Semitic  face  the  profile  above  and  below  this  point 
curves  inward  toward  the  medial  line.  In  the  Greek  profile  the 
line  along  forehead  and  nose  and  the  line  along  chin  and  mouth 
tend  to  be  parallels  perpendicular  to  the  medial  line ;  the  eyes  are 
smaller  than  in  the  Semitic  face.  Examples  of  the  older  Semitic 
profile  are  §  28,  a  •  Vase  4585  (S.  A.  35,  4),  and  Statue  16;  the 
Greek  profile  is  furnished  by  coins  of  Alexander.  The  "  Cypriote  " 
type  (§  28,  b,  and  §  20,  b)  is  perhaps  a  mixture  of  the  Phoenician 
and  Greek  elements,  (b)  Change  in  Language. — The  features 
and  language  are  changing,  while  dress  and  art  are  not  yet  af- 
fected. The  statue  4  has,  notwithstanding  its  dress  and  its  art,  a 
Cypriote  inscription  *  on  the  left  arm.  The  features  are  the 
"  Cypriote  "  type  of  183,  etc.,  still  further  modified  by  a  Greek  in- 
fusion, (c)  Change  in  Dress  and  Art. — Nos.  23,  169,  164  retain  the 
conical  cap,  but  show  Greek  influence  in  the  greater  regard  paid  to 
the  framework  of  the  body ;  to  detail  in  beard,  hair,  etc.,  in  the 
large  Statue  23 ;  and  to  drapery.  The  shawl  is  not  engraved  on 
the  gown,  but  carved  in  relief.  No.  164  has  gone  farthest  on  the 
way  to  becoming  Greek. 

(B)  Many  statuettes  not  in  Egyptian  or  Phoenician  costume 
(§  25,  a  and^),  may  be  Phoenician  or  Young-Greek. 

*  Greek,  in  a  script  used  in  Cyprus  and  not  in  Greece.

§  50.  SUBJECTS.*— The  sculptures  in  temples  were  gifts  to 
the  gods.  Sometimes  the  god  was  presented  with  a  portrait  of 
himself,  sometimes  with  one  of  the  giver,  or  with  a  picture  of  an 
event  in  which  the  giver  was  much  interested— for  example,  when 
he  had  escaped  from  peril  or  had  a  wish  fulfilled. 

§  51.  Portrait  Statues  of  the  givers  (§  19).  Evidently  the 
favorite  form  in  Golgi.  The  groups  in  Egyptian  and  Phoenician 
costume  and  most  of  the  Greek  statues,  (§§  52-54.) 

§  52.  Musicians  (§  51),  probably  in  the  temple  services,  (a) 
Harpers.* — Nos.  1186,  299,  Phoenician;  484,  490,  Greek,  (b) 
Double  Pipes. — Nos.  1167,  1180,  1199,  52,  74,  76,  80,  117.  143, 
Phoenician,  except  80  which  is  probably  early  Greek. f  (6')  Tam- 
bourines.— Nos.  53,  91,  Phoenician. 

§  53.  Maskers  (§  51),  perhaps  in  the  service  of  the  temple,  are 
1 182,  1 198,  61,  terra-cottas  193  and  perhaps  206  (E.  H.  21,  3) — 
all  Phoenician.  The  masks  of  1182,  1198,  206,  are  heads  of  cows 
and  completely  cover  the  masker's  head.  Nos.  1198,  206  hold 
the  snout  of  the  mask  with  both  hands.  The  masks  of  61,  193 
are  faces  and  are  not  worn,  but  held  up.  The  mask  of  193  is 
human,  that  of  61  looks  more  like  the  face  of  a  lion.  No.  61 
holds  his  mask  with  his  left  hand  against  the  left  side  of  his  face. 
No.  193  holds  his  with  both  hands  up  over  his  left  shoulder. 

§  54.  (A)  Victim- Bearers  (§  51),  officials  of  the  temple,  or 
worshipping  laymen. 

(B)  Phoenician  are  1193,  70,  108,  148;  Phoenician-Greek,  23; 
Greek,  24,  28,  29,  39,  361,  368,  390,  530,  538,  540,  545,  557,  558, 
570,  576,  599,  602,  606,  761,  791,  889.  Many  others  with  broken 
hands,  and  many  heads  are  of  this  group. 

(C)  The  bearers  of  victims  of  the  Phoenician  period  are  greatly 
outnumbered  by  those  of  the  Greek  period. 

(D)  Probably  this  is  due  only  to  the  new  difficulties  thus 
introduced.  First,  the  animal  should  be  sculptured  free  in  the 
round ;  secondly,  in  ho -ding  the  animal  so  sculptured  the  arm  must 
hang  free  and  not  cling  to  the  body.  That  was  pains  the  Phoeni- 
cian sculptor  of  Golgi  had  not  interest  enough  in  the  matter  to 
take. 

(E)  Kinds  of  Victims. — Seldom  other  than  the  dove,  Aphro-

dite's  favorite  animal.  Only  five  instances  of  other  animals,  (a) 
Cow. — No.  39,  represented  by  the  head  held  in  the  left  palm,  (b) 
Ram. — Nos.  1193,  70,  resting  on  the  shoulders,  two  feet  held  by 
each  hand  of  the  bearer.  No.  1193  is  from  Amathus.  A  com- 
mon mode  of  bearing  sheep,  and  the  shepherd-god  Hermes  is 
often  figured  thus  in  Greek  art,  but  no  circumstance  has  survived 
with  these  two  figures  as  a  motive  to  consider  them  other  than 
officials  of  the  temple  or  laymen,  (r)  Goaf. — Nos.  108,  530,  held 
under  the  left  arm,  pressed  against  the  side,  all  four  feet  in  one 
hand.  ((V)  Dove. — Only  once  does  the  dove  occur  in  the  Phoeni- 
cian class — 148,  conical  cap,  long  gown,  no  shawl,  (d?)  The  dove 
is  held  in  four  ways  :  upright  by  the  feet,  by  the  wings,  by  the 
body  or  sitting  in  the  hand,  (a)  Upright  by  the  feet. — One  in- 
stance, No.  23,  Phoenician-Greek.  (b)  By  the  wings. — In  Young- 
Greek  statues.  (Also  No.  148,  the  one  Phoenician  instance  of  the 
dove.)  It  is  then  usually  held  in  the  left  hand,  24,  28,  148,  368, 
557,  570,  599  ;  in  three  cases  in  the  right  hand,  29,  361,  390.  (e) 
By  the  body. — Only  in  Greek  statues  of  the  perfect  period  ;  always 
in  the  left  hand,  538,  576,  602,  606,  761,  791.  (d)  Sitting. — Only 
in  Perfect-Greek  statues  ;  in  the  left  hand,  504,  545.  In  No.  889 
it  sits  on  a  box  in  the  left  hand,  (d3)  When  the  statue  holds 
a  dove  in  one  hand  it  has  in  the  other  another  kind  of  offering. 
(a)  No.  23  holds  a  chalice  of  wine.  (b)  In  the  Young-Greek 
statues  a  common  companion  to  the  dove  is  something  in  a  small 
round  flat  box,  e.g.  28,  361  ;  so  the  Phoenician,  148.  (c)  Perfect- 
Greek. — No.  39  with  the  cow  offers  a  brush  of  holy  water.  So  also 
368,  557  with  the  dove.  Those  holding  the  dove  by  the  body,  538, 
etc.  (a7'2  c  above)  have  in  the  right  hand  as  it  hangs  by  the  side  a 
ball,  probably  apple  or  pomegranate. 

§  55.  Offerings  of  Fruits. — Apples;  ear  of  wheat  in  585,  per- 
haps 578.  A  fruit  in  the  hand  is  common  in  the  Phoenician  period 
as  well  as  the  Greek,  e.  g.  4,  133  Phoenician,  and  40,  870  Greek. 

§  56.  Inanimate  Ojferings. — Wine,  water  and  contents  of  a  box. 
§  57.  GOBS  FROM  THE  TEMPLE  OF  GOLGI  74  figures. 

(A)  Jupiter  Amnion  called  Baal  Haman  in  Phoenician  countries, 
Amun  Ra  in  Egypt.  The  ram  was  his  favorite  animal,  and  he  is 
figured  sometimes  with  the  head  of  a  ram,  sometimes  with  recurv- 
ing ram's  horns  encircling  his  ears.  In  the  latter  guise  he  appeared 
in  the  Perfect-Greek  art.  Nos.  126,  135,  136  have  rams'  heads, 
and  are  seated  in  high  backed  arm-chairs.    Nos.  395,  398,  400  have 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES.

human  heads,  and  are  seated  in  high-backed  arm-chairs,  their  arms 
resting  on  rams  which  stand  at  their  side. 

All  six  figures  are  of  the  Phoenician  period.  Statuettes  like 
395>  39&>  4°°  m  stone  and  terra-cotta  have  been  found  in  Phoenicia 
and  Spain  as  well  as  in  Cyprus. 

(B)  Goddess  of  Maternity.  -  A  woman  seated  in  a  high-backed 
arm-chair  holding  a  baby  on  her  lap.  The  baby  always  rests  on 
the  left  arm  of  the  woman.  Nos.  66,  100,  106,  146  are  of  the 
Phoenician  period;  352,  428,  495,  536,  566,  596,  732,  739  of  the 
Greek.  The  Phoenician  figures  have  their  head  dressed  in 
the  klaft  (§45  A,  b).  The  Greek  wear  the  "  matronal  shawl,/1 
(§  788,  *.) 

Three  explanations  have  been  advanced  of  such  figures :: 

That  they  are  women  who  had  prayed  for  offspring. 

That  they  are  offerings  for  the  dead — the  baby  representing 
the  soul  of  the  dead,  the  woman  representing  the  goddess  Demeter 
the  earth,  into  whose  bosom  the  departed  friend  had  been  com- 
mitted. It  was  the  custom  to  represent  departed  souls  as  infants 
in  the  hands  of  a  higher  power. 

That  they  are  a  goddess  to  whom  some  woman  had  prayed  for 
the  child  on  her  lap.    This  third  view  is  adopted  here. 

The  objects  in  §  60,  b  and  c,  were  probably  offered  to  this  god- 
dess (§  60,  B,  c). 

The  name  borne  by  this  goddess  is  uncertain.  Not  unlikely  it 
is  the  same  goddess  as  (C)  of  this  article. 

(C  a)  Aphrodite,  probably — a  woman  standing  and  holding  a. 
flower  on  her  bosom. — Nos.  1187,  1189,  1195,  67,  96,  102,  105,  122,, 
125,  157,  230.  No.  230  is  Greek;  others  are  doubtful ;  thus  1187 
may  be  Young-Greek  as  well  as  Phoenician.  The  arm  crossed  on 
the  bosom  is  always  the  right  in  these  statuettes  of  Golgi  ;  the  left 
arm  hangs  by  the  side,  Most  wear  breast-chains,  also  ear-orna- 
ments of  the  kind  §  44,  C,  a.  No.  1197,  dressed  like  105,  prob- 
ably the  same  goddess,  sits  in  a  high-backed  arm-chair.  No.. 
1 181,  a  similar  figure,  is  without  the  flower.  Similar  figures  are  in 
the  terra-cottas  of  the  collection  (Hand-book  2,  "  Potteries,"  etc.,, 
p.  39,  II).  Female  heads,  like  the  above  statuettes,  are  n 53,. 
1 159,  1 183,  1 188,  63,  65,  71,  95,  98,  504.  (b)  Certain  ones  of  the 
above  employ  the  hand  of  the  hanging  arm.  In  1195,  157,  230^ 
it  lightly  lifts  the  gown.  This  figure  in  Young-Greek  art  is  called 
by  archaeologists  Aphrodite  ;  and  some  centuries  later  a  similar  fig-

ure  appears  in  Roman  art,  where  it  is  called  by  the  Romans  Hope. 
It  is  the  reigning  belief  in  archaeology  that  the  Romans  borrowed 
for  their  goddess  Hope  this  earlier  figure  of  Aphrodite  from  the 
Greeks. 

(D  a)  Aphrodite — the  large  statue  32.  She  holds  Love  on 
her  left  arm.  (For  the  crown,  see  Catalogue.)  (b)  That  Aphro- 
dite was  worshipped  in  the  temple  is  shown  by  the  large  statue 
32  and  the  statuettes  (§  57,  C)  of  a  large  number  of  worshippers 
bringing  offerings  well  known  to  be  acceptable  to  her — dove  and 
apple.  The  presence  of  Aphrodite  in  this  temple  being  estab- 
lished, it  is  probable  that  the  goddess  of  maternity  in  this  temple 
was  Aphrodite. 

(E  a)  Herakles  was  an  important  god  in  the  temple.  No.  19 
over  life-size  ;  statuettes,  373,  376,  377,  379,  380,  381,  386;  small 
heads,  374,  375,  378,  383,  384,  388.  In  every  instance  he  is  clad 
in  the  lion's  skin,  the  skull  replacing  his  helmet.  The  statues  19, 
373,  etc.,  form  three  groups  (b,  c,  d).  The  first  shows  him  in 
repose,  the  other  two  performing  a  feat  of  valor,  (b)  Nos.  19, 
376,  380,  381.  He  stands  quietly.  Nos.  19,  380  are  alike — the 
right  arm  hangs  by  the  side  holding  arrows,  the  left  arm  presses 
the  bow  to  the  side,  and  bent  at  the  elbow  holds  out  the  club 
upright.  The  left  hand  of  380  is  gone,  but  doubtless  held  the 
club.  No.  376  is  the  same  on  the  left  side ;  the  arm  presses  the 
bow  to  the  side,  and,  bent  at  the  elbow,  probably  held  out  the 
club  ;  the  right  arm,  bent  at  the  elbow,  perhaps  held  arrows.  No. 
381  shows  no  trace  of  bow,  arrows,  and  club;  both  arms  hang  by 
the  side ;  in  each  an  uncertain  object,  (c)  He  kills  a  lion,  Nos. 
373,  386.  These  are  the  two  of  latest  date.  Both  right  arms  are 
gone.  The  lion,  no  larger  than  a  cat,  is  on  his  hip,  its  head 
grasped  by  the  left  hand  of  Herakles.  His  right  arm  is  lifted 
above  his  head,  probably  to  deliver  a  blow  with  the  club.  No 
trace  of  bow  and  arrows,  (d)  Nos.  377,  379 — both  arms  gone. 
The  right  arm  was  raised  as  in  (c).  The  left  arm  was  down  and 
out.  (r)  No.  385  is  probably  Herakles,  perhaps  also  382.  In  385 
the  right  arm  is  raised  as  in  (c)  and  (d),  and  holds  a  club  behind 
the  head.  The  left  arm,  bent  at  the  elbow,  presses  something 
against  the  side,  the  traces  of  which  suggest  a  bow.  No.  382  had 
the  right  arm  raised  like  385,  but  the  hand  is  gone.  The  left  arm, 
now  gone,  was  down  and  out  as  in  (d ).  (/)  All  but  373,  386,  are  of 
a  very  early  period.    Those  two  are  Perfect-Greek.    The  early  air

of  373  is  due  to  carelessness  in  design  and  execution.  The  Greek 
Herakles  was  of  Asiatic  origin,  and  several  Phoenician  figures 
are  known  clad  in  the  lion's  skin,  though  not  with  the  skull  inclos- 
ing the  head.  Nos.  19,  etc.,  however,  are  quite  like  the  Herakles 
thus  dressed,  so  familiar  a  figure  in  the  early  art  of  Greece.  Ac- 
cording to  a  Greek  tradition  the  type  is  due  to  the  epic  poet 
Peisandros  (about  625  b.  a),  who,  it  is  said,  was  the  first  so  to 
describe  him.  Some  of  the  Asiatic  designs  of  Herakles  in  this 
guise  may  have  been  seen  by  Peisandros,  who  lived  on  the  Asiatic 
coast  in  Rhodes.  But  as  the  Herakles  of  Golgi  is  more  like  the 
Greek  figures  than  those  known  to  us  as  certainly  Phoenician,  Nos. 
19,  etc.,  may  be  considered  to  belong  to  the  Young-Greek  period 
in  Golgi,  and  not  earlier  than  600  b.  c. 

(F)  No.  752  (Perfect-Greek)  is  perhaps  a  Herakles  suggested 
by  a  Phoenician  statue.  In  drapery,  etc.,  it  is  Greek,  while  the 
heavy  body,  deep  eye-cavities,  thick  nose  and  lips,  rendered  as 
everything  is  in  Greek  methods,  also  the  lion  the  size  of  a  cat  held 
against  the  belly,  recall  the  colossal  statue  of  Amathus  now  in 
Constantinople,  also  the  Sandon  of  Assyrian  reliefs  (Assyrian 
Herakles^. 

(G)  Geryon. — 218,  219,  219%  and  the  low-relief  347.  No.  347 
was  sawn  off  from  the  great  pedestal  of  the  colossal  Herakles  19, 
and  218,  219,  2i9A  were  probably  offered  in  honor  of  the  same 
god — all  are  Young-Greek.  To  rob  the  triple-bodied  Geryon  of 
his  cattle  was  one  of  the  twelve  labors  of  Herakles.  He  found 
them  guarded  in  the  absence  of  their  master  by  Eurytion  the  herd 
and  the  double-headed  dog  Orthros.  The  statuettes  218,  etc., 
show  us  Geryon,  the  relief  347  the  loss  of  his  wealth.  Eurytion 
and  Orthros  the  servants  of  a  monster  are  monsters  themselves, 
Eurytion  having  the  huge  head,  the  thick  set  figure  and  grotesque 
features  often  given  to  monsters,  e.  g.  the  satyr  319,  753.  Orthros, 
contrary  to  the  rule,  has  here  three  heads.  On  the  shields  and  kilt 
of  218  are  four  reliefs.  On  the  shield  to  our  left  is  the  slaughter 
of  the  Gorgon  by  Perseus.  To  our  left  is  Athene  in  helmet,  shield, 
and  spear  giving  directions  to  her  pupil.  Perseus  turns  his  head 
to  listen.  In  one  hand  he  holds  a  sword,  with  the  other  grasps  the 
Gorgon  by  the  hair.  Medusa  with  the  big  head  of  a  monster,  her 
hair  formed  of  flying  snakes,  dances  with  fright.  It  is  the  moment 
before  her  beheading ;  the  Sarcophagus  CC  gives  the  moment  after. 
The  reliefs  on  the  other  shield  are  too  much  worn  for  description.

CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


On  the  shield  to  our  right  seems  to  be  a  centaur  of  the  earlier 
Greek  type — a  complete  man  with  a  horse's  body  joined  to  his 
back.  On  the  kilt  are  two  repetitions,  each  being  a  fight  between 
a  lion  and  a  man  armed  with  a  sword — possibly  Herakles  himself, 
though  when  the  battle  with  the  Nemean  lion  is  portrayed,  Hera- 
kles despises  the  sword,  and  grapples  with  the  lion. 

(H)  Sile?ius  [Satyr)  and  Pan. — (<ff)  Silenus  319,  753,  1053.  Nos. 
319,  753  are  of  the  Young,  1053  of  the  Perfect-Greek  period.  No. 
319,  from  the  treatment  of  beard  and  eyes,  is  probably  Phoenician. 
No.  753  is  Young-Greek,  not  far  from  the  close  of  the  period.  Com- 
pare the  similar  Phoenician  figure  on  one  end  of  the  Sarcophagus 
of  Amathus  AA.  Both  have  their  tongues  out  and  seem,  especially 
753,  to  be  dancing — a  favorite  attitude  of  satyrs.  Both,  like  the 
figure  on  the  sarcophagus,  are  made  grotesque  and  deformed. 
(b)  Pan. — Statuettes  662,  664,  667,  669,  670,  672,  674,  676,  677  ; 
heads  are  663,  665,  668,  673,  675.  There  is  but  one  type  in  these 
figures — a  youth  standing  naked  with  a  chlamys  on  his  shoulders 
fastened  on  the  breast,  but  thrown  back  and  held  back  by  the 
right  hand  ;  the  left  hand  on  the  breast  holds  the  shepherd's  pipes, 
and  the  only  trace  of  kin  to  the  brutes  is  seen  in  the  little  horns 
budding  in  the  hair  over  the  forehead  and  the  high-pointed  ears ; 
face  and  figure  are  youthful.  All  belong  to  the  Perfect-Greek 
period.  All  the  statuettes  are  of  poor  workmanship  ;  the  heads, 
except  665,  being  larger  are  better.  Pan  was  the  shepherds' god, 
as  his  name,  pipes,  and  brute-nature  show,  and  was  much  wor- 
shipped in  country  districts,  as  that  of  Golgi  seems  to  have  been. 

(I)  Certain  figures  seated  on  thrones  seem  to  be  gods,  Nos.  119, 
138  Phoenician,  and  564,  Greek. 

( J)  778?  Siren  or  Harpy  of  Perfect-Greek  period. 

(K)  156,  Phoenician.  Human-headed  winged  beast,  joined 
side  to  side  with  a  lion.  The  human  head  wears  what  is  probably 
an  imitation  of  the  double  crown  of  the  Egyptian  kings,  as  in  the 
statue  7.    The  beard  is  like  183.    For  the  lion's  mane  see  §  47. 

(L)  460,  perhaps  the  head  of  Perseus.  The  conical  cap  is 
shaped  like  that  of  Perseus  on  one  end  of  the  sarcophagus,  CC, 
and  is  provided  with  two  wings  ;  beardless ;  Young-Greek. 

§  58.  GOBS  EEOM  OTHEH  PLACES  THAN  THE  TEMPLE

its  asps  (§  31,  §  34,  b\  the  hawk's  head  with  the  wig  (§  30,  a). 
Horus  was  often  represented  with  a  hawk's  head.  In  Egypt,  as 
in  the  Semitic  world,  there  were  trinities.  Osiris,  Isis,  Horus — 
god  the  father,  god  the  mother,  god  the  son — were  an  Egyptian 
triune  god  of  sunlight  and  blessing.  No.  60  is  the  work  of  a 
Phoenician  Cypriote,  and  though  differing  from  the  Egyptian 
figure  of  Horus  may  be  a  Cypriote  imitation. 

(B)  Aphrodite,  441,  1138;  Sarcophagus  AA,  1201,  1205.  No. 
441,  from  Dali  (ancient  Idalium\  is  of  the  group  §  57,  C,  b,  like 
1 195,  etc.  In  spite  of  its  stiffness,  probably  of  the  Perfect-Greek 
period.  Such  small,  cheap  idols  were  turned  out  mechanically  in 
large  numbers,  and  after  the  ancient  pattern.  The  body,  with  its 
drapery,  is  as  flat  as  the  Phoenician  statuettes  of  Golgi.  No.  1138, 
Perfect  Greek  from  Leucolla,  wears  a  very  high  crown  like  that 
of  32.  The  crown  is  richly  ornamented  with  a  row  of  rosettes, 
and  above  them  rise  tall  lilies,  alternating  with  figures  like  dancing- 
girls,  pausing  erect  for  a  moment  with  arms  akimbo.  Sarcophagus 
AA,  see  §  74,  D,  a.  Nos.  1201,  1205,  small,  beautiful  marble  heads, 
1205  from  Salamis,  1201  from  the  temple  of  Apollo  Hylates, 
near  Curium. 

(C)  Artemis. — Statuettes,  671,  708,  713,  720,  722,  726,  744; 
heads,  711,  714,  from  Pyla,  not  far  to  the  east  of  Golgi  and  Citium. 
In  each  statuette  Artemis  is  accompanied  by  her  favorite  hind,  has 
bow  and  quiver  on  her  back,  in  long  chiton  reaching  to  the  feet 
and  tucked  underneath  the  belt,  a  himation  on  the  left  shoulder 
(except  720).  In  720  she  holds  a  fawn  on  her  left  arm  to  her 
side.  In  the  others  the  hind  stands  at  her  side,  and  is  fondled  by 
the  right  hand.  Nos.  671  and  713  are  most  alike,  the  fawn  stand- 
ing at  the  goddess's  left;  in  708,  722,  726,  744,  at  her  right. 
The  left  hand  holds  an  apple  in  726,  744;  in  708,  hangs  at 
her  side,  holding  what  is  perhaps  the  bow;  in  722,  is  placed 
akimbo  on  the  hip;  in  671,  713,  broken  at  the  elbow,  perhaps 
held  an  apple  like  744.  The  hind  lays  in  each  case  its  ears 
back.  All  are  of  the  Perfect-Greek  period,  and  are  not  only 
careless  in  execution,  but  poor  in  design,  except  the  largest 
piece,  711,  a  head  which  is  much  more  spirited  than  the  others. 

(D)  No.  754,  from  the  ruins  of  Golgi.  A  male  figure  sitting 
on  a  throne,  which  is  flanked  by  two  stags.  He  writes  with  a  style 
on  a  scroll  open  on  his  knees.    Perfect-Greek  period. 

(E)  Demeter.— Nos.  37,  825,  831,  etc.     (See  §  80.)

(F)  Gorgon.— -No.  12 10,  the  Gorgon's  mask;  marble,  from  the 
temple  of  Apollo  Hylates,  near  Curium ;  Perfect-Greek.  Slaughter 
of  the  Gorgon,  Sarcophagus  CC  (§  74,  D,  a). 

(G)  Cybele  {Rhea).—^os.  1137,  11371.  No.  1137,  marble,  from 
Soli,  on  the  northwest  coast;  Perfect-Greek.  The  lion,  her  favorite 
animal,  is  here  her  footstool.  She  was  the  great  goddess  of  earth, 
mother  of  the  gods,  and  when  citizens  personified  their  cities  they 
chose  the  figure  of  the  Great  Mother,  as  she  was  called.  Hence 
it  is  often  uncertain  whether  heads  of  the  goddess  are  towns  em- 
bodied in  Cybele,  or  are  the  goddess  herself.  In  either  case  she 
wore  the  mural  crown,  representing  a  walled  city,  for  cities  are 
the  foci  of  the  earth.  No.  1137",  a  fragment  of  such  a  crown, 
from  the  ancient  Leucolla,  may  be  part  of  the  statue  of  that  city. 

(H)  Phoenician  Patcecus  on  Sarcophagus  AA,  see  §  74,  D,  a. 

(I)  Athene. — No.  12 12,  marble,  from  the  temple  of  Apollo 
Hylates  near  Curium. 

(J)  Dionysos. — No.  1203,  marble  head,  from  the  temple  of 
Apollo  Hylates.  Bunches  of  grapes  mingle  with  his  hair  on  each 
side  of  the  head. 

§  59.  PEOFESSIOUS. — Snake-charmer,  51  from  Amathus,  holds 
two  snakes  in  his  hands,  their  heads  resting  on  his  cheek ;  on  his 
head  lie  three  others,  their  heads  above  his  forehead,  the  tails  down 
his  back.  Snakes  were  not  objects  of  abhorrence  in  antiquity.  In 
Egypt  and  Greece  they  were  often  worshipped  and  more  often 
petted.  They  were  allowed,  when  not  poisonous,  to  run  over  the 
dinner-table,  to  sleep  with  the  children,  and  women  nursed  them. 
At  this  day  in  Cyprus  women  wear  their  pet  snakes  on  the  wrist, 
about  the  neck,  or  iu  the  bosom. 

Soldiers  are  142,  152,  154,  200,  204,  210,  725,  Phoenician;  719 
Phoenician  or  Young-Greek;  679,  Young-Greek;  737,  a  Roman 
soldier.

1 187  seems  to  be  a  sick  woman  praying  to  the  goddess  §  57,  C,  ay 
standing  in  front  of  her.  (b)  Diseased  members  of  the  body  were 
hung  up  in  the  temple.  Arm  and  hand  are  1057,  1066,  1082  ; 
leg  and  foot  1055,  1059,  1060;  finger  1066',  io66h;  ear  io66g, 
55  and  57  (Inscr.) ;  eyes  io66il_e;  mouth  io66f;  breast  939. 

§  62.  MALE  FIGURES  SITTING  ON  THE  GROUND. — 
Mostly  from  Curium  ;  of  the  later  Young-Greek  and  of  the  Per- 
fect-Greek periods ;  perhaps  offerings  of  women  who  had  prayed 
for  male  offspring;  370,.  403,  414,  451,  469,  595,  598,  600,  666, 
678,  768,  769,  776,  813,  1052,  1054,  1111-1130;  20,  22  (Inscr.). 

Description. — Usually  it  is  a  youth  sitting  on  the  ground  on  his 
left  leg,  clad  in  a  chiton  (shirt)  with  a  string  of  charms  on  the 
breast,  a  small  animal  in  one  hand  and  an  apple  in  the  other.  No 
one  of  the  above  features  of  the  type  is  invariable — No.  768  and 
others  are  men,  666  does  not  sit,  403  sits  on  his  right  leg,  1126  is 
naked,  11 14  wears  no  charms,  1122  holds  the  small  animal,  but 
not  the  apple.  The  string  of  charms  is  worn  sometimes  round  the 
neck,  sometimes  across  the  breast.  The  objects  held,  apple,  dove, 
tortoise,  cock,  hare,  are  attributes  of  Aphrodite  and  suggest  the 
notion  that  these  figures  may  be  offerings  to  Aphrodite  as  goddess 
of  maternity  (§  60,  e). 

§  63.  ANIMALS,  perhaps  offerings  made  of  victims  in  effigy  y 
ram  418;  lamb  193,  1015  ;  doves  1034,  1035. 

§  64.  UTENSILS  OF  SACRIFICE  offered  in  a  cheaper  form. 
Bronze  was  the  fitting  material,  stone  was  cheap,  (a)  Lamps 
916,  923,  931,  941,  etc.  (b)  An  interesting  kind  of  lamp  is  919, 
935.  A  lamp  is  placed  in  each  portico  of  an  Ionic  temple  in 
antis ;  pilasters  carved  on  the  sidewalls.  The  form  of  the  capitals 
is  archaic.  The  Ionic  columns  are  carved  in  flat  relief  on  the  antce. 
The  pediment  was  drawn  with  red  lines  now  invisible  unless  the 
stone  is  wetted,  (c)  Box  946,  949,  950,  etc.  (d)  Alabastra  957, 
962,  968,  etc.,  imitations  in  common  stone  of  the  original  alabastra 
like  those  in  (E.  H.)  Cases  4-6.  (e)  Paterce  917,921,  926,930, 
etc. 

§  65.  As  in  other  temples  so  probably  in  this  were  utensils  in 
bronze,  silver  and  gold,  and  jewelry.  No  metal,  however,  was 
found  ;  probably  when  Christianity  triumphed  and  the  temple  was 
destroyed  the  metal  was  taken  out.

CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


Syrians,  to  make  the  figures  of  their  sculpture  notes  of  events 
rather  than  pictures  of  the  actors ;  they  desired  to  reproduce 
nature,  and  nature  at  her  best.  The  Young-Greek  period  shows 
the  beginnings  of  the  former  endeavor,  its  final  success,  and  the 
addition  of  the  latter  are  achieved  in  the  Perfect-Greek  Period. 

'§  67.  YOUNG-GREEK  PEILXGD  IN  GOLGI.— -It  shows  its 
kinship  with  the  Phoenician  sculpture.  In  general,  e.  g.  21,  an 
imperfect  rendering  of  the  forms  and  attitude  of  the  body ;  re- 
semblance to  the  individual,  not  nature  at  her  best  is  aimed  at 
(i  66).  In  particular — the  face  is  Cypriote  rather  than  Greek; 
the  left  leg  is  always  advanced ;  the  hair,  as  in  a  few  cases  of 
the  Phoenician  sculpture,  is  rendered  in  the  method  practised 
by  Assyrian  sculptors  (§  69).  On  the  other  hand,  the  Greek 
spirit  begins  to  show  itself  in  the  warmer  life  of  the  contours  and 
surfaces.  Thus  No.  21,  one  of  the  earlier  statues  of  the  period, 
surpasses  23  of  the  transition-period,  as  the  latter  surpasses  16  of 
the  Phoenician  period,  the  body  of  which  in  all  three  dimensions 
lias  the  shape  of  a  board.  The  limbs  of  2 1  are  better  modelled 
and  in  easier  attitudes  ;  life  and  flow  begin  to  appear  in  the  drapery. 
The  surface  also  is  m'-re  life-like — the  texture  of  the  beard  and 
hair  is  rendered,  though  in  faulty  method  \  folds  in  the  drapery 
declare  its  structure,  and  difference  in  its  material  is  marked,  the 
lighter  material  of  the  chiton,  the  heavier  of  the  himation;  the 
himation  is  shown  to  be  a  separate  garment  by  its  elevation  above 
the  level  of  the  chiton. 

To  give  more  life  to  the  figure  the  sculptor  has  not  shunned 
difficulties  presented  by  leaves  and  flowers  crowning  the  head  and 
instruments  of  sacrifice  held  in  the  hand  (§  54,  D). 

§  68.  GHOUPS  OF  THE  YOUNG-GREEK  CLASS. — In  the 
Young-Greek  period  there  seem  to  have  been  two  groups  similar  to 
the  two  contemporary  Phoenician  groups  (§  25,  A),  ((f)  Conical 
Cap. — In  §  49,  c  it  was  shown  that  some  statues  wearing  the  con- 
ical cap  probably  belong  to  the  Young-Greek  period.  The  following 
heads,  treated  as  they  are  with  greater  detail  of  beard,  hair,  and 
knitted  cap  than  is  common  in  the  Phoenician,  may  belong  to  such 
statues  of  the  Young-Greek  period,  Nos.  325,  329,  331,  334,  339. 
The  statuettes  164,  169  are  beardless,  as  many  Phoenician  statues  in 
conical  caps  were  beardless,  (b)  Bandeau.  -Often  the  hair  is 
confined  by  a  plain  band,  but  usually  it  is  a  garland  of  leaves,  or 
flowers,  or  leaves  and  fruit.    These  garlands  seem  to  correspond

507,  515,  519  ;  often  carved  in  small,  flat  ring  curls — a  mode  prac- 
tised in  Assyrian  sculpture,  in  the  Phoenician  sculpture  of  Golgi 
(e.  g.  No.  1 6  /  and  other  parts  of  Cyprus  (e  g.  the  Herakles  of  Ama- 
thus,  §  57,  F),  in  the  Young-Greek  sculpture  of  Golgi  (e.  g.  No.  21), 
and  in  the  corresponding  period  of  sculpture  in  Greece.  Now  and 
then,  as  512,  the  beard  is  finely  grooved  longitudinally,  while  the 
hair  over  the  forehead  is  curled  in  the  flat  rings,  and  these  again 
are  carved  at  the  end  of  the  beard.  In  22,  510  greater  care  has 
been  taken  in  carving  the  beard,  the  flat  ring-curls  being  drawn 
up  into  thick,  close  spirals.  No.  607  shows  a  more  intelligent 
imitation  of  nature,  for  the  beard  here  appears  in  wavy  masses. 
(h)  Hair.  -The  hair  on  the  scalp  in  the  heads  of  (a)  in  this  § 
is  longitudinally  grooved,  as  503.  Along  the  edge  of  this  striated 
surface  the  hair  is  usually  carved  in  flat  ring-curls  like  the  beard  of 
(a),  sometimes  in  little  zigzagging  locks,  e.  g.  25,  29,  517. 

§  70.  PERFECT-GREEK  PERIOD. — (a)  The  term  perfect 
means  here  full  grown.  Mastery  of  methods  was  now  the  com- 
mon possession  of  the  craft  of  sculptors  in  Golgi.  They  had 
learned  to  reproduce  nature  with  ease,  and  nature  at  her  best— the 
framework  of  the  body,  its  muscular  encasing,  and  the  enfolding 
drapery  are  not  only  correctly  rendered,  but  agreeable  forms  have 
been  chosen  to  cast  them  in.  On  the  other  hand  the  sculpture 
betrays  the  stock  from  which  its  sculptors  were  descended.  The 
imaginative  Greek  spirit  has  penetrated  to  a  certain  depth  only. 
No  votive  offerings  embody  an  event  in  shapes  drawn  from  epic 
poetry  ;  the  only  important  statue  of  a  god  that  was  found  is  the 
Aphrodite  with  Love  on  her  arm,  No.  32  ;  no  statues  disclose  the 
body  freed  from  the  veil  of  drapery.  In  fine,  art  in  Golgi  re- 
mained prosaic  (§  21,  B"  ;  the  favorite  subject  for  statues  and  the 
only  point  at  which  the  imaginative  Greek  spirit  was  able  to  estab- 
lish itself  was  the  imaginacive  portrait  statue  (§  19,  c).  Examples 
—statues,  32,  36,  38,  39,  40;  heads,  681,  683,  684,  688,  etc.  (h) 
Roman  Period. — The  portrait-statues  of  the  temple  in  the  Roman

age  often  have  the  Roman  head  and  face.  Some  may  be  the 
portraits  of  Romans,  others  are  the  portraits  of  citizens  made  to 
look  like  handsome  Romans,  as  in  the  foregoing  age  they  were 
made  like  handsome  Greeks ;  e.  g.,  837,  838,  845,  874,  889,  etc. 

§71.  BURIAL-SCULPTURES.  —  Most  of  these  monuments 
came  from  a  spot  now  called  H  agios  Jorgos,  about  ten  minutes' 
walk  from  the  site  of  the  temple.  Perhaps  sculptures  from  temple 
and  graves  belonged  to  one  town. 

§  72.  These  burial  monuments  are  either  designs,  or  the  struc- 
tures which  bear  them.  The  structures  are  first  the  house  or  tomb, 
secondly  the  coffin,  thirdly  the  monument  proper. 

§  73.  TOMBS. — (a)  Vault— The  graves  of  Golgi  and  ancient 
Idalium,  were  vaults  dug  horizontally  into  a  wall  of  rock  or  soil. 
At  the  larger  Paphos,  a  seaport,  the  vaults  were  often  compound, 
being  composed  of  many  chambers  cut  into  the  rock,  the  entrances 
adorned  with  facades  of  masonry.  These  of  course  were  family 
tombs  of  rich  people.  At  the  small  inland  towns  of  Idalium  and 
Golgi  no  such  grand  tombs  were  found ;  they  were  vaults  of  a  single 
tiny  chamber  with  no  architecture  adorning  the  entrance.  (/>) 
House.  —  At  Amathus,  another  important  seaport,  a  different  kind  of 
tombs  was  found,  a  series  of  little  houses  of  one  or  more  chambers 
built  of  huge  blocks  of  stone,  tombs  plainly  of  the  rich. 

(A)  §  74.  COFFINS.  —  Sarcophagi  were  rarely  used  in  Ida- 
lium and  Golgi  at  any  period  of  their  existence ;  the  body  was 
laid  on  the  floor  of  the  vault.  In  the  tombs  of  masonry  at  Ama- 
thus the  body  was  deposited  in  a  sarcophagus,  another  proof  of 
wealth  in  the  place.  Also,  some  of  the  group  contained  sarco- 
phagi of  marble,  an  expensive  imported  stone  (§  14). 

(B)  Source  and  Period. — Five  sarcophagi  A  A,  BB,  CC,  DD, 
No.  1 1 48  ;  A  A  and  DD  from  Amathus  in  the  tombs,  §  73,  ^ ;  BB 
and  1 148  from  Citium  ;  CC  from  Golgi,  in  a  vault  (§  73,  a.)  AA, 
BB,  DD  Phoenician,  CC  Young-Greek,  11 48  of  the  Greek  age  of 
Citium,  hardly  earlier  than  the  Christian  era. 

(C)  Shapes. — Two  in  the  collection— house  as  CC,  and  mummy- 
case,  (a)  House-shape.— AA,  CC,  1 1 48— rectangular  and  in  general 
of  the  shape  of  the  Greek  temple,  the  lid  like  the  roof.  This  shape 
was  used  in  Phoenicia,  in  Cyprus  at  Amathus  during  the  Phoenician 
period,  and  in  Greek  countries  to  the  latest  times.  Each  of  the 
group  of  tombs  of  Amathus  of  §  73,  b,  contained  a  sarcophagus  of 
this  shape,  but  AA  was  the  only  decorated  one  found,    (b)  An- 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


33 


thropoid-shape.  —  BB  and  DD  Phoenician,  BB  from  Citium,  DD 
from  Amathus,  both  of  marble.  DD  came  from  the  group  of 
tombs  in  which  AA  was  found.  It  is  a  Phoenician  imitation  of  the 
Egyptian  mummy-case,  another  instance  of  Phoenician  fondness 
for  Egyptian  fashions  (§  10,  c).  The  lid  is  carved  into  a  portrait 
of  the  dead  person  lying  within,  wrapped  in  bandages  and  em- 
balmed. Such  sarcophagi  have  been  found  in  Phoenicia  and  other 
Phoenician  colonies  beside  Cyprus,  as  Malta,  Sicily,  Corsica.  With 
very  few  exceptions  all  the  specimens  found  are  of  marble.  Marble 
is  not  found  in  Phoenicia,  and  was  probably  imported  from  Greece. 
This  and  the  cast  of  features  make  it  probable  that  they  belong 
to  the  end  of  the  Phoenician  period  when  the  places  where  they 
were  used  were  passing  under  Greek  influence. 

(D)  Decoration  (with  human  beings,  etc.)  of  the  house-shape 
AA,  CC,  and  1148,  is  of  three  kinds —figures  of  deities,  mythologi- 
cal allusions  to  death,  and  funeral  ceremonies  in  honor  of  the  dead. 
((f)  The  deities  on  the  Phoenician  sarcophagus  AA  of  Amathus 
are  at  one  end  four  identical  figures  of  the  "  Semitic  Venus,"  at  the 
other  four  identical  figures  of  the  Phoenician  "  Pataecus."  These 
two  series  are  not  groups  but  decorative  repetitions.  The  sig- 
nification is  doubtful.  The  Semitic  Venus,  the  mother-goddess  of 
Nature,  may  stand  here  in  the  chthonic  (i.  e.  burial)  character 
which  was  one  of  the  sides  of  the  character  of  the  Greek  Aphro- 
dite ;  on  the  other  hand,  her  presence  may  denote  the  grave  of  a 
woman  [see  "  Hand-book  No.  2,  Potteries,  etc.,"  p.  38,  (1)  N.B.], 
in  which  case  the  Pataecus  might  be  explained  by  the  connection 
of  the  similar  Egyptian  god  Bes  with  feminine  occupations,  (h) 
A  mythological  allusion  to  the  triumph  over  death  may  be  the 
meaning  of  the  scene  on  one  end  of  the  sarcophagus  CC,  the 
meeting  of  Perseus  with  the  Gorgon,  (r)  Ceremonies. — Games  of 
various  kinds,  as  chariot  races,  were  performed  in  honor  of  the 
dead,  also  banquets  were  held.  The  memory  of  these  offered 
honors  was  often  preserved  on  the  monuments,  carved  in  stone 
or  painted  on  the  pottery  deposited  in  graves.  Such  seems  to  be 
the  meaning  of  the  procession  on  the  two  sides  of  AA,  and  the 
chariot  on  one  end  of  CC.  No.  1148,  one  side  of  a  sarcophagus, 
is  adorned  with  two  cows  and  two  garlands  of  pine,  both  allusions 
to  offerings  to  the  dead. 

§  75.  Monuments. — Four  kinds  in  this  collection — pillars  (§  77), 
boxes  containing  reliefs  (§  78),  statues  (§  81),  altars  (§  82). 


34 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


§  76.  (a)  The  attitude  of  the  Greeks  toward  the  life  that  came 
after  the  death  of  the  body  is  much  disputed,  so  that  the  meaning 
of  their  burial-monuments  is  in  suspense.  The  following  view  is 
adopted  in  this  hand-book.  The  affectionate  attentions  paid  to 
the  dead  seem  to  have  a  common  origin  with  the  awful  attentions 
paid  to  the  gods — both  being  offerings  to  beings  in  the  spirit- 
world,  free  from  the  body  and  the  changes  and  chances  of  its  mortal 
life,  (b)  Hence  the  stone  pillar,  it  should  seem,  was  regarded  as  the 
representative  of  the  dead,  as  in  many  nations  the  first  idols  have 
been  posts  of  wood  or  stone  into  which  the  divinity  came.  These 
finally  were  assimilated  to  the  deity  by  taking  his  shape.  So  into 
the  gravestone  came  the  spirit  of  the  dead,  whence  it  often  received 
an  architectural  form  as  being  his  occasional  abode,  and  on  it  was 
carved  his  name,  No.  (Inscr.)  103,  or  his  image  in  a  niche,  No. 
(Inscr.)  163.  Or  the  architectural  pillar-slab  was  turned  into  the 
front  of  a  chapel  {cedicula,  §  78)  containing  the  figure  of  the  dead 
person  alone  or  with  friends,  Nos.  42,  \2K.  Finally,  his  figure  was 
left  quite  free  and  became  a  statue,  No.  (Inscr.)  164  (§  8.1).  (c)  As 
games  and  banquets  were  held  in  honor  of  the  gods,  so  they  were 
held  in  honor  of  the  vast  host  of  lesser  spirits  who  had  led  the 
mortal  life  of  the  body ;  vessels  and  other  furniture  were  placed 
in  the  grave  (e.  g.,  pottery  in  South  Aisle)  ;  offerings  of  meat  and 
drink ;  offerings  of  garlands — and  the  memory  of  all  these  offer- 
ings was  carved  and  painted  on  the  tombs. 

§  77.  PILLARS. — (A)  (d)  Three  kinds  in  this  collection,  up- 
right slabs  crowned  either  by  a  flower,  in  which  case  the  slab  repre- 
sents the  stalk ;  by  a  fierce  animal,  lion  or  sphinx,  as  warder  of 
the  grave  ;  or  lastly,  the  summit  is  architectural,  namely  a  pediment, 
(b)  Position. — This  is  uncertain ;  it  is  probable  that  the  posi- 
tion varied.  Nos.  30,  31  were  found  inside  of  the  vault  at  the  head 
and  foot  of  a  sarcophagus.  A  common  position  in  Greece  was 
outside  of  the  vault,  placed  against  the  wall  of  the  tomb  by 
the  doorway,  or  against  the  wall  of  the  passage  that  led  to  the 
vault. 

(B)  FLOWERS,  Nos.  30,  31,  48, 1 174,  701-  (P)  No-  3*  is  a 
well-preserved  example,  and  is  the  vertical  section  of  a  flower 
showing  stalk,  corolla,  ovary,  stamens  and  pistil.  Nos.  30  and  31 
were  found  at  either  end  of  the  sarcophagus  CC.  The  flower  in  48 
is  surmounted  by  the  head  of  Hathor,  in  the  other  pillars  it  is 
crowned  by  an  architectural  member,  namely,  a  bar  lying  on  its 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


35 


top.  (h)  Period. — All  are  probably  Young-Greek.  As  such  pillars 
have  not  been  found  in  Greece,  these  are  to  be  considered  Phoeni- 
cian in  origin,  but  not  necessarily  made  by  Phoenicians.  Nos.  30 
and  3 1  are  Greek,  first  because  found  with  the  Greek  sarcophagus 
CC,  secondly  from  the  sex  of  the  sphinx  (§  77,  C,  c%).  The 
sex  proves  701  also  Greek.  Nos.  48,  1174  with  Hathor's  head 
(§  79,  c)  are  doubtful.  The  presence  of  the  Egyptian  goddess  is 
due  to  the  Phoenicians  originally,  but  may  have  survived  into  the 
Greek  age  of  Golgi,  for  Vogue  found  there  a  pillar  surmounted  by 
two  lions,  and  underneath  them  the  Egyptian  winged  globe  with  a 
Cypriote  inscription  repeated  in  Greek  characters.  Nos.  30, 
31  are  proved  to  be  Young-Greek  by  their  association  with  the 
sarcophagus  CC.  The  recurving  of  the  sphinxes'  wings  in  701  (as 
in  30,  31,  see  §  77,  C,  c*)  proves  it  Young-Greek.  To  sum  up — 
Nos.  30,  31,  701  are  Young-Greek;  perhaps  also  48,  1174. 

(C)  LIONS  AND  SPHINXES. — (a)  Lions,  on  pillars,  Nos. 
192  (from  Dali),  346;  on  cedieulee,  187  (from  Dali),  525,  526, 
705,  and  on  sarcophagus  CC.  Lions  were  common  in  Greek 
sculpture  as  warders  at  tombs,  as  at  Mycenae  they  stand  guard  over 
the  city-gate.  In  the  burial-sculpture  of  Golgi  they  are  always 
represented  reclining  with  forepaws  crossed,  but  not  asleep  •  with 
head  erect,  open  mouth  and  tongue  out,  they  snarl  at  intruders. 
On  top  of  a  flat  pillar  or  on  an  cedicula  they  turn  sideways  to  the 
front.  Where  two  are  together  they  lie  back  to  back.  (fo) 
Sphinxes,  on  pillars  Nos.  35,  11 73;  on  sarcophagus  AA.  The 
sphinx,  a  fierce  animal,  was  used  like  the  lion  in  Greek  sculpture 
as  warder  of  graves.  In  this  collection  they  are  always  in  pairs. 
On  the  pillars  35,  11 73  they  are  back  to  back  with  faces  turned 
sideways  to  the  front;  on  35  they  sit,  on  11 73  they  lie  with  crossed 
forepaws  exactly  like  the  lions  on  the  burial-pillars  of  Golgi.  On  the 
sarcophagus  AA  they  sit  on  the  end  of  the  lid,  one  on  each  slope 
and  fronting  inwards  with  faces  turned  sideways  to  the  front.  The 
sphinxes  of  348  carved  in  the  round  and  those  in  flat  relief  in  the 
centre  of  the  flowers  of  30,  31,  701  are  no  longer  warders  of  the 
grave ;  they  seem  to  be  decorative  devices  without  meaning,  the 
conventional  descendants  of  the  "sacred  tree."  (c1)  Periods. — 
Lions  and  sphinxes  were  introduced  into  Greek  art  from  the  East, 
and  in  Cyprus,  where  Greeks  and  Phoenicians  long  lived  side  by 
side,  Phoenician  and  Young-Greek  will  often  resemble  one  another. 
(c2)  Lions. — The  sarcophagus  CC  shows  us  lions  of  the  Young- 


36 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


Greek  period.  No.  192,  in  spite  of  the  poor  work  of  the  lion,  is 
proved  to  be  Perfect-Greek  by  the  form  and  character  of  the  pal- 
mette.  No.  346  with  the  Egyptian  cornice  and  winged  globe  is 
Phoenician  at  least  in  character,  to  which  also  the  sculpture  of  the 
lions  points.  The  lions  lying  on  top  of  the  cediculce  187,  525,  526, 
705  are  shown  by  the  reliefs  within  the  cedicula  to  be  Young-Greek. 
(c3)  Sphinxes. — On  the  whole,  sex  seems  to  be  the  criterion  be- 
tween Oriental  and  Greek — male  in  the  East,  female  in  Greece. 
The  shape  of  the  wings  is  the  dividing  line  between  Young-Greek 
and  Perfect-Greek.  In  the  Young-Greek  period,  still  half  under 
the  influence  of  the  East,  the  wings  recurve  at  the  tip  and  are 
feathered  as  in  sarcophagus  AA  and  No.  350  ("  Hand-book  No. 
2,  Potteries,  etc.,"  p.  26,  middle).  The  sarcophagus  AA  seems 
to  be  late  Phoenician,  though  the  sex  of  the  sphinxes  is  doubtful. 
No.  1 1 73  (both  heads  gone)  is  probably  Phoenician,  to  judge  by 
the  curious  attachment  of  the  wings  and  the  entire  omission  of 
their  feathered  texture.  The  wings  and  faces  of  350  prove  it 
Young-Greek.  The  character  of  the  faces,  wings,  and  the  palmettes 
of  35,  348  proves  them  Perfect-Greek. 

(D)  Architectural. — The  pillar  topped  by  a  pediment  is  not 
unlike  a  temple-front  without  the  colonnade.  It  was  a  very  com- 
mon form  in  Greece.  But  two  specimens  in  this  collection,  Nos. 
(Inscr.)  103,  163;  neither  from  Golgi ;  both  Perfect-Greek. 

§  781.  RELIEFS  in  AZdiculce. — (a)  A  second  class  of  monu- 
ments in  this  collection  comprises  the  boxes  containing  human 
figures  in  high  relief.  The  box  imitates  the  front  of  a  temple, 
thus  pediment  and  acroteria  top  Nos.  42,  45,  and  are  indicated  in 
4iA,  44.  The  tops  of  the  other  cediculce  are  broken  off.  Those  sur- 
mounted by  lions  are  of  course  flat  on  top.  (/>)  Reliefs  in  adiculcE 
are  Nos.  4iA,  42,  42A,  43,  44,  45,  46,  47,  187,  524-529,  702-705, 
857-862,  1136,  1 143,  1 145,  1150.  Reliefs  of  one  figure  are  Nos. 
41 A,  42,  46,  47.  All  the  others,  when  not  uncertain  fragments, 
are  groups,  e  g.  No.  42  K. 

*§  78s.  Meaning. — It  is  much  disputed  whether  these  reliefs 
represented  the  dead  man  as  he  was  in  this  world  or  should  be  in 
the  next.    In  this  collection  the  latter  seems  to  hold  true. 

§  78s.  The  attributes  (i.  e.  associated  articles  of  characterization, 
gestures,  and  attributes)  point  either  to  the  change  from  this  life 
to  the  next,  or  to  the  course  of  that  life. 

§  784.  CHANGE  FROM  THIS  LIFE  TO  THE  NEXT— These 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


37 


signs  are  the  marks  of  worship  (§76)  and  show  that  the  departed 
is  in  the  world  of  spirits. 

(A)  He  is  represented  as  a  deified  being — (a)  In  the  traits  of 
some  god  or  demigod ;  e.  g.  a  young  Athenian  given  to  athletics 
could  be  figured  as  Theseus,  a  girl  as  Artemis,  and  so  on.  No 
examples  in  this  collection,  (b)  As  a  hero  riding  or  holding  his 
horse,  No.  4iA. 

(B)  The  friend  is  represented  as  receiving  offerings — (ft,)  A 
table  is  spread  by  his  side.  Nos.  43,  525  (but  sometimes  in  the 
rougher  reliefs  the  table  has  been  left  bare,  Nos.  528,  702).  (b) 
A  fruit  in  the  hand,  Nos,  45,  529  ;  or  lap,  42,  47,  524.  (c)  A  god 
in  Greek  designs  is  frequently  figured  receiving  a  drink-offering ; 
he  holds  a  cup  which  we  often  see  his  servant  fill.  So  in  burial- 
reliefs.    A  patera  (saucer)  of  wine  is  in  the  hand  of  Nos.  42 A,  44, 

524,  526>  527,  529,  702>  7°5>  858- 

§  785.  ALLUSIONS  TO  THE  LIFE  IN  THE  NEXT  WORLD. 

— It  is  peaceful  and  free  from  change  ;  hence  the  men  in  the 
reliefs  of  this  collection  are  usually  figured  lying  down  at  their 
ease  (§  786).  In  the  next  world  friends  shall  be  reunited ;  hence 
they  are  often  figured  holding  one  another  by  the  hand  (§  787). 
There  are  also  allusions  to  the  favorite  pursuits  of  the  departed 
(§  788). 

§  78s.  Reclining. — Nos.  44,  524-529,  702,  704,  705.  In  these 
reliefs  only  men  ;  always  on  the  left  side  and  elbow. 

§  787.  Joined  Hands. — It  is  much  disputed  whether  it  means 
the  separation  caused  by  death,  or  reunion  in  the  next  world. 
Sometimes  man  and  wife,  sometimes  two  men  hold  one  another's 
hand,  Nos.  42A,  43,  44,  45,  526,  529. 

§  78s.  ALLUSIONS  TO  THE  LIFE  ON  EARTH. — These  (it 
is  a  matter  of  much  dispute)  seem  to  be  at  the  same  time  a

show  that  the  next  life  will  be  like  this  with  sorrow  left  out.  (a) 
Young  men  may  have  the  dogs  they  hunted  with,  or  the  oil-bottle 
and  scraper  of  the  gymnasium ;  women  have  their  boxes  of  jewels 
and  work-baskets  by  their  side.  Only  two  instances — No.  (Inscr.) 
164,  a  woman,  who  seated  in  a  chair  places  her  hand  on  a  box,, 
probably  of  jewels,  held  by  her  maid  standing  at  her  side  ;  No.  46,, 
a  little  boy  standing  and  holding  his  pet  bird  in  his  hands,  (b) 
The  Matron,  e  g.  No.  42. — A  frequent  figure  in  the  reliefs  of  Golgi: 
is  the  mistre:s  of  the  house,    ( 1 )  She  wears  the  "  matronal  shawl.'"

CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES. 


The  himation  is  not  wrapped  about  the  body  but  hung  over  the 
head,  both  ends  falling  over  the  shoulders  in  front.  (2)  One  hand 
often  holds  the  shawl  from  the  face,  a  sign  of  marriage,  as  Hera  by 
the  side  of  Zeus  in  the  cella-frieze  of  the  Parthenon — Nos.  42,  42 A, 
44,  45,  47,  529,  7°2-  7°3,  7°4,  859,  1136. 

§  78s.  Grouping. — Where  a  woman  is  present  it  is  the  union  of 
a  family.  In  No.  45  man  and  wife  sit  hand  in  hand  ;  in  529  they 
hold  one  another's  hand,  the  man  reclining,  the  woman  sitting  on 
his  knee.  In  524,  702,  704  hands  are  not  joined,  and  in  each  relief 
the  man  reclines ;  in  702  his  wife  sits  on  a  chair  at  the  foot  of  his 
couch  holding  a  baby;  in  704  she  sits  on  the  foot  of  the  couch,  a 
little  child  standing  by  her  side ;  in  524,  from  ancient  Idalium, 
there  are  two  women,  one  sits  on  the  man's  knees,  the  other  reclines 
on  the  couch  behind  him,  a  little  child  standing  by  her  side.  Again, 
man  and  wife  are  accompanied  by  their  grown  children  ;  in  44 
they  sit  hand  in  hand,  while  the  two  men  reclining  in  an  upper 
story  are  probably  sons ;  in  42 A  man,  wife,  and  two  sons  sit  in  a 
row,  and  the  right  hands  of  the  parents,  also  those  of  the  sons  are 
joined.  In  Nos.  43,  526,  528,  861  there  are  no  women,  but  men 
are  together,  sometimes  with  hands  joined. 

§  7810.  Periods. — The  burial-reliefs  may  be  divided  as  follows : 
(ff )  The  earliest  seem  to  be  certain  ones  with  faces  of  an  Oriental 
air,  Nos.  524,  527,  705.  (b)  Nos.  44,  45,  46,  526,  528,  529,  702, 
704,  861,  862,  1 150  are  Young-Greek,  but  toward  the  end  of  the 
period,  (c)  Nos.  47,  858,  1136,  1143,  1145  are  Young-Greek  and 
but  little  later  than  44,  etc.,  in  b  above.  ((J)  Nos.  163  (Inscr.), 
42,  41 A,  42 A,  43,  703,  857,  859,  860  are  Perfect-Greek. 

§  7811.  Artistic  Merit. — As  the  material  (§  14)  so  is  the  work 
provincial,  (ft)  Conception. — There  is  no  originality.  All  the  reliefs 
are  cut  on  a  few  hackneyed  types — two  friends  sitting  and  holding 
one  another  by  the  hand,  or  lying  down  together,  or  one  reclines 
and  the  other  sits,  with  other  variations  of  no  account.  There  is 
none  of  the  variety  and  freshness  and  delicacy  and  sentiment 
which  make  this  class  of  Athenian  sculpture  charming.  More- 
over, in  Athens  the  event  was  often  made  entirely  poetic  by  carv- 
ing it  into  some  allusive  scene  from  epic  poetry.  In  Golgi  the  old 
prosaic  spirit  asserted  itself  in  this  branch  of  sculpture ;  these 
reliefs  are  family  groups  rendered  in  the  soberest  manner,  (b) 
Execution.  —  This  is  in  many  cases  careless.  The  cediculce  are 
too  shallow  for  sitting  figures  turned  to  the  front,  consequently 


CYPRIOTE  SCULPTURES.

several  figures  in  these  reliefs  have  been  almost  deprived  of  their 
thighs,  e.  g.  the  man  in  45  and  the  woman  in  47.  Part  of  the  rude- 
ness of  704  seems  to  be  due  to  the  cheapness  and  roughness  of 
the  workmanship  rather  than  to  immaturity  in  stage  of  art.  The 
modelling  of  859  is  good,  and  the  fingers  engaged  in  the  edge  of 
the  shawl  are  gracefully  conceived  and  executed. 

§  79.  Mythological. — In  the  burial-sculpture  no  deities  appear 
in  the  reliefs.  Outside  of  the  reliefs  are — (a)  The  "  Semitic 
Venus"  on  the  sarcophagus  AA  from  Amathus  (§  74,  D,  a),  (b) 
The  Phoenician  "  Pat?ecus"  on  the  same  sarcophagus  (§  74,  D,  a). 

(c)  The  pillars  Nos.  48,  1174  of  Phoenician  character  bear  the 
face  of  Hathor,  the  Egyptian  Aphrodite.  One  of  her  offices  was 
chthonic,  for  she  received  the  spirit  at  the  death  of  the  body  into 
the  next  world.  No.  7,  Case  XXXII,  C.  H.  from  Egypt,  shows  her 
face  carved  in  cedar.    The  ears  are  those  of  the  cow,  her  emblem. 

(d)  The  slaughter  of  the  Gorgon  on  sarcophagus  CC,  (§  74,  D,  b). 

(e)  The  winged  male  figure  No.  584  from  Hagios  Jorgos ;  Young- 
Greek,  naked,  a  garland  of  leaves  and  fruit  on  the  head,  two  large 
wings  on  the  shoulders  outstretched  backwards  and  parallel,  arms 
and  legs  gone;  originally  about  a  foot  high.  (/)  Busts,  possibly 
of  Demeter ;  from  Hagios  Jorgos  ;  (§  80). 

§  80.  From  the  graveyard  of  Golgi  a  number  of  heads,  or 
rather  busts,  for  a  bit  of  the  shoulders  is  added  to  head  and  neck. 
Nos.  864,  866,  868,  885,  890,  894,  903,  909  are  heads  of  men,  Nos. 
801,  810,  824,  825,  831,  833  women.  They  are  of  careless  work- 
manship and  belong  to  the  Perfect-Greek  period.  The  male  heads 
are  bare,  and  without  garland  or  ribbon.  The  female  heads  are 
veiled  with  the  himation,  the  face  left  uncovered,  as  in  §  78s,  b. 
These  heads  are  not  fragments  from  statues,  but  are  in  their 
original  condition  ;  No.  825  shows  a  hole  in  the  lower  edge  for 
fastening  the  bust.  The  meaning  of  their  presence  in  graves  is 
uncertain.  It  was  the  custom  in  Greece  to  put  terra-cotta  busts  of 
the  chthonic  (sepulchral)  deities — Demeter,  Persephone,  Dionysos 
— in  tombs  against  the  walls  on  the  floor  as  if  rising  from  the  earth 
their  domain.  The  colossal  statue  37  was  found  in  the  same 
graveyard  and  belongs  to  a  well-known  type  of  Demeter  •  to  the 
same  type  belong  the  present  busts ;  and  to  Demeter  the  goddess, 
of  earth  were  the  dead  committed.  The  male  heads,  on  the  other 
hand,  do  not  look  like  Dionysos.

Greek. 

§  82.  CIPPI. — The  fourth  monument  to  the  dead  in  this  col- 
lection is  the  cippus,  Nos.  (Inscr.)  107-110,  134-137,  152-156, 
158-175  ;  from  Citium,  and  its  Greek  period  from  the  Christian 
era  on.  In  shape  they  are  cippi,  columns  with  base  and  capital. 
Once  or  twice  the  head  is  carved  in  a  niche,  Nos.  170,  172.  All 
bear  inscriptions,  usually  the  name  of  the  person  followed  by 
xprjore  %a7pe,  Good  friend,  good-bye.  It  is  a  burial-inscription 
frequent  in  Semitic  countries  after  the  adoption  of  Greek  speech 
and  fashions.  This  class  has  its  origin  in  the  worship  of  the  dead 
(§  76),  for  it  is  a  frequent  shape  of  the  altar,  and  altars  were  set 
up  in  front  of  graves  to  receive  offerings  of  wine,  etc.

INTRODUCTION. 


This  hand-book  is  intended  to  embrace  the  stone  sculptures, 
only,  of  the  Cesnola  Cypriote  Collection,  including  the  inscrip- 
tions, but  it  includes,  for  the  visitor's  convenience,  the  alabastra, 
and  some  miscellaneous  objects  found  in  tombs,  together  with 
a  few  objects  not  belonging  to  the  collection,  but  exhibited  in 
the  same  halls. 

The  Cesnola  Collection  of  Cypriote  Antiquities  consists  of 
objects  exhumed  in  Cyprus  by  General  L.  P.  di  Cesnola  during 
his  residence  in  the  island  as  United  States  Consul,  from  1865 
to  1877,  and  purchased  by  the  Museum  in  two  different  por- 
tions, at  times  between  1873  and  1878.  Besides  the  stone 
sculptures  of  this  hand-book,  the  collection  comprises  a  large 
number  of  inscriptions  in  Phoenician,  Greek,  Cypriote,  and 
Latin ;  alabastra,  pottery,  terracottas,  glass,  bronzes,  seal 
cylinders, engraved  gems, coins, objects  in  gold  and  silver,ivory, 
bone,  lead,  iron,  and  other  substances.  A  convenient  and  short 
summary  of  the  contents  of  the  collection  and  of  the  results  of 
the  explorations  in  Cyprus  will  be  found  in  a  contemporary 
account  by  John  Taylor  Johnston,  first  President  of  the  Museum, 
entitled,  "  The  Cesnola  Collection  in  the  Metropolitan  Museum 
of  Art,  New  York,"  and  published  as  an  Appendix  to  Cesnola's 
"  Cyprus,  its  Ancient  Cities,  Tombs  and  Temples,"  pp.  449-456. 

For  further  details  respecting  the  particular  objects,  as  well 
as  further  explanation  of  the  significance  of  the  whole  col- 
lection, the  reader  is  referred  to  the  "  Atlas  of  the  Cesnola 
Collection  of  Cypriote  Antiquities  " ;  a  publication  issued  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Museum,  of  which  the  first  volume  com- 
prises the  stone  sculptures,  the  second  the  terracottas  and  pot- 
tery, and  the  third  the  bronzes,  glass,  gold,  silver,  gems  and 
inscriptions. 

An  attempt  to  enumerate  even  the  chief  publications  of  the 
great  body  of  literature  grown  up  about  this  collection  would 
be  outside  the  scope  of  a  brief  hand-book.    From  the  time  of

their  discovery,  the  importance  of  these  objects  for  the  under- 
standing of  the  history  of  art  and  the  arts,  and  of  the  ancient 
literatures,  has  been  constantly  recognized.  Cyprus  was  the 
great  meeting-point  of  the  old  races ;  and  here  are  preserved 
invaluable  relics  of  most,  if  not  all,  of  them,  enabling  us  to 
trace  much  of  each  separate  national  line  of  progress  and  in- 
fluence, with  (of  course)  much  mingling  and  modification,  from 
the  earliest  times  down  to  their  results  and  culmination  in  the 
works  of  Greece  and  Rome.  Subsequent  explorations  in  the 
islands  and  on  the  mainland  of  Greece,  as  well  as  in  Asia  Minor 
and  regions  farther  east,  and  in  Egypt  and  Africa,  have  con- 
tinued to  throw  light  upon,  and  to  receive  light  from,  the 
objects  in  this  collection.  No  collection  of  antiquities  serves 
more  or  better  than  this  to  determine  the  place  of  Greece  in  the 
history  of  art, or  the  process  of  earlier  mixture  and  development. 

The  localities  mentioned,  where  the  various  objects  were 
found,  are  more  fully  described  in  the  publications  above  named. 
The  descriptions  here  given  of  the  objects  themselves  are 
necessarily  of  the  briefest,  yet  enough  to  show  the  great  range 
of  age,  subject,  and  national  idea,  exhibited  in  the  collection, 
or  even  in  a  single  locality.  The  objects  from  the  temple  of 
Golgoi,  for  example,  cover  a  period  scarcely  less  than  a  thou- 
sand years  in  extent. 

In  the  majority  of  cases  the  sculptures  in  the  brown  or  gray 
calcareous  stone  were  colored  red,  sometimes  completely,  some- 
times partially ;  a  fact  more  manifest  when  a  wet  sponge  is 
passed  over  the  surface  of  the  stone.  This  fact  of  coloring  is 
generally  omitted  in  the  description,  unless  some  special  reason 
(usually  obvious)  calls  for  its  mention. 

Of  the  crouching  figures,  so  many  of  which  were  found  at 
the  temple  of  Apollo  Hylates,  near  Curium,  some,  mentioned 
in  the  latter  part  of  this  hand-book,  bear  Cypriote  inscriptions 
dedicatory  to  Apollo  Hylates,  and  are  to  be  found  in  the  cases 
containing  the  inscriptions  in  Hall  14. 


CESNOLA  COLLECTION 


CATALOGUE  OF  STONE  SCULPTURES 

Unless  otherwise  specified,  the  objects  in  this  collection  are 
composed  of  a  marly  chalk  with  an  admixture  of  argillaceous 
clay.  In  general  terms  it  may  be  designated  as  a  calcareous 
stone.  Most  of  the  specimens  are  as  clean  and  fresh  as  though 
recently  cut,  while  others  show  a  texture  similar  to  sandstone, 
due  to  the  washing  out  of  the  softer  component.  The  stone  is 
easily  carved  with  a  knife,  and  readily  lends  itself  to  sculpture.. 

The  numbers  in  the  catalogue  begin  and  end  in  Hall  14, 
on  the  First  Floor.  The  numbers  in  Halls  Nos.  18  and  19  com- 
prise the  larger  pieces  of  statuary  in  the  centre  and  Northerly 
part  of  Room  18,  and  thence  proceed  along  the  Easterly  and 
Southerly  walls.  For  convenience,  a  considerable  number  of 
objects  of  Egyptian  manufacture  found  in  Cyprus  are  in- 
cluded in  the  present  catalogue.  A  few  other  pieces  of  Ori- 
ental sculpture,  not  of  the  Cesnola  collection,  among  them  some 
Assyrian  and  Hittite  mural  plates,  are  described.

For  convenience  Nos.  1145 — 1309  are  noted  here,  though  not

Nearly  all  of  the  Alabaster  objects,  1 145-1236,  were  found  in 
Phoenician  tombs  in  various  parts  of  Cyprus.  Those  num- 
bered 1237  to  1309  were  discovered  in  Greek  and  Egyptian 
tombs  in  several  places,  and  are  of  much  later  date  in  spite  of 
their  less  excellent  state  of  preservation.  The  difference  in 
their  style  and  grace  of  form  is  obvious :  the  alabastron  shape 
gives  place  to  the  amphora.    See  Atlas,  III.,  PI.  ex. — cxiii.

The  following  objects,  from  1484  to  1585,  are  of  a  hard  gray 
stone  which  may  be  designated  as  a  sort  of  serpentine,  with  the 
exception  of  a  few  which  are  made  of  a  scoriaceous  or  volcanic 
stone,  extremely  hard  and  full  of  cellular  holes.  The  objects 
numbered  1586  to  1836  are  made  of  a  variety  of  substances — 
ivory  or  bone,  pottery  and  faience,  earthenware,  stone  and  lead.

native  manufacture,  while  the  latter  are  in  large  part  either  of 
Egyptian  origin  or  are  copies  after  Egyptian  models.  The  ob- 
jects numbered  1484  to  1836  were  found  in  various  parts  of  the
